A pebble beach within the pine forest
A ~700 m pebble beach on the southwest side, backed by lush pine forest that gives natural shade — west-facing. One of the island’s favourites; it fills on weekends and is quiet mid-week.
Access via a forest route, ~35-40 minutes by car from the centre. Essentially unorganized.
