This is especially impressive during the spring season while a vibrant emerald green hue of nearby vegetation reflects the beauty of the region. The waters are also very shallow with a sandy bottom which also makes it pleasant and ideal for swimming, snorkeling, and diving. Situated close to the entrance, a small bar and kiosk are at the entrance offer the opportunity to rent chairs and umbrellas if preferred. Although suitable for boat riding, the beach is best known for diving and a dive school can also help to discover the wonders of marine life. Diving is a great way to explore the shipwrecks, particularly the Soca and Loredan with the former being an 80-meter length warship sunk by a British submarine during the Second World War and the Loredan, an armed escort to convoys, which sunk in 1943, between 55 to 65 meters deep. Aside from the fascinating shipwrecks, there is also some interesting underwater fauna. The red and yellow sea fans, Anthas and Gamber, roam these waters while lobster, mostly, crayfish, and king of mullets also thrive. Overall this is a beach destination with something for everyone and the historical, cultural, and natural wonders in this area are more than worth the effort it takes to find them.
