Beach description
You can get to the beach by car or village bus. You can go down to the beautiful sandy beach on the intimidating stairs. It will be a real test for those who are afraid of heights. Some find trails right on the steep slopes, but this is for fan of extreme sports.
The view is worth it to get here. it is unspoilt wildlife, a long wide sandy beach with towering sand cliffs overhanging it, and birds nesting there. You can see the rusted remains of ships on the shore , “teeth” from the columns of the pier destroyed by the waves.
There is absolute solitude in cool times. The bottom is rocky that is not suitable for swimming, even experienced swimmers can not cope with dangerous currents. Desperados and those who need to sober up quickly, dare to climb into the water even at +10. The beach is just created to walk barefoot, lie around, sunbathe. Lucky find pieces of amber on the shore. The beach is a great place for a picnic or sitting on top of a cliff and quietly contemplating the natural perfection.
