The beach is situated in an easily accessible area within the locality, providing an environment where proximity to the urban area combines with the natural beauty of the coast.
This beach stands out for its sand area of modest dimensions, which invites a more secluded atmosphere. One of the most striking elements of the landscape is an imposing rock formation that rises on the eastern part of the beach, emerging from both the sand and the water, and creating a visually interesting scenery.
