Pretty pure and clear water, but a rocky bottom.

They are easily caught by both vacationers in the midst of an exciting boat trip and local residents - the owners of numerous restaurants and gastro bars, specializing in the preparation of seafood. The high season on the beach is considered to be a period of several months, from November to the beginning of April. Rest at beach El-
