The small bar is still closed at the end of May, but you can also rent loungers and parasols here during the season.

If you have reached the parking lot after a difficult drive. it is only a short hike to the beach. The path itself is not difficult to walk. On the way there you have a fantastic view. Absolutely worth it.
