A beach with crystal clear waters and fluffy fine sand. This is not an organized beach, which means you have to take with you the equipment and everything you need. Probably, you&#8217;ll stay there all day, and you will enjoy the sunset.<\/p>\n<p>It is not a very long beach, but you will definitely find free space to put your umbrella and enjoy the sun and the sea. If you are a great swimmer you can also swim to the opposite island<\/p>\n<p>There, you&#8217;re probably going to take your dives completely on your own.
