It is a beautiful bay close to the centre, the only problem is that it gets too windy for those who want to set up tents.

It's a beautiful place. However, people leave their filthy garbage lying around. Even though there are three garbage barrels right on the road,

There's enough space for 1 or 2 tents on the beach. It's packed every day, even on weekends in the spring.

We went in with our water shoes, it's not rocky enough to be uncomfortable, but it's not sand either.

It's a cove very close to the center... You can go directly by car and walk to the beach for about 2 minutes, it's downhill but it's not difficult... Those who come by minibus can actually walk too, but it probably takes about 20 minutes, I don't know how it will be in the heat :)

Markets, cafes etc. are within a 10-minute walk.

The water was ice cold, maybe even hotter in the heat of summer.

When I went, there were 9 or 10 tents, and the police had them all taken down. However, in previous years, no one had interfered with the tents.

A bay surrounded by nature where you can camp. The water is a bit cool, and while there are rocks at the beginning, it's not overly rocky. The sunset is a lovely sight. The sea is much clearer further out. You can see fish even close to shore while swimming. I didn't see any sea urchins in the areas I dived. It's a lovely bay near Foça, well worth a visit.
