Pebble Beaches

Smooth stone beaches with incredibly clear water — common across the Mediterranean

What are Pebble Beaches?

Pebble beaches may not be as comfortable underfoot, but they offer some of the clearest water you will ever see. The stones prevent sand from clouding the water, creating stunning visibility for snorkeling. Water shoes are recommended.
