✓ Manually calibrated shoreline

The orientation of the shore and the shelter of the bay were checked one by one on the map for every beach — they are not derived automatically.

A pebble beach with striking turquoise waters, framed by steep cliffs. Its fame comes from the unique water color and landscape. The pebbles make entering the sea less comfortable, and when the wind blows, the waves become dangerous. Recommended for an early morning or late afternoon visit to avoid crowds.

Wind & waves: when to go

Real shoreline from OpenStreetMap at a fixed scale so the diagrams are comparable with one another — the dot marks the beach.

The beach faces northwest. With southeasterly winds the air flows offshore and the water near the shore stays flat; with northwesterly winds the sea builds up waves onto the beach. The coast is exposed to the open sea, so conditions change quickly with the wind.

🌅 Sunset over the sea: all year round

The shore faces northwest (300°), so all year round the sun sets within its field of view, over the water.

An estimate based on the orientation of the shore — a headland or island opposite may hide the horizon.
