Beach description
Pebbled beaches stretch for almost 5 km. Even at the peak of the season, those who wish to retire and swim away from people will be able to do this. In the surf zone, the bottom is perfectly flat, the depth increases very gradually. The color of the water in the bay has a very unusual blue hue due to limestone greenish-gray rocks lying at the bottom. A thick layer of clay comes out of the mountain directly to the water.
Kilometers of the beach near the bay are divided into several sections with different conditions. In some places, small pebbles give way to sand or large stones. The sections closer to the village and recreation centers have a convenient entry into the sea, are equipped with sunbeds and parasols, have water attractions and cafes near the beach. The conditions of the resort are most suitable for youth and family visits.
Opposite the central square of the village there are two sections with large pebbles, on one of them the entrance to the sea is complicated by large and slippery stones. Here the road runs through the village, the beaches themselves are equipped with:
- parking.
- rent of beach accessories;
- cafes, canteens and shops;
- water attractions.
Smaller pebbles and sand, a smooth descent to the water are a little further from the village. To the site where the source of blue clay is located, there are gangways from recreation centers located on the mountain. There is also shelter against the sun, sunbeds are available for rent.
In the "wild" recreation area with tents there is also a smooth sandy entry into the sea. It is located at the entrance to Inal after a sign for camping. There are no cafes and entertainment, but vacationers can get everything they need on neighboring beaches.
From the bus stop two stairs lead to a well-maintained pebbled beach. From the nearby located observation deck, you can admire views of the bay and see the available here:
- parking;
- cafes and snack bars (open until late night);
- rental stations;
- grocery stores and tents;
- water activities.
Lovers of admiring the underwater world, rocky terrain go further to the rocky ledges. The entrance to the water there is rather complicated because of stones and algae.
