Η παραλία έχει μεγάλα πλακουτσωτά βότσαλα και είναι εντελώς απομονωμένη. Το νερό είναι σχεδόν πάντα πολύ ήρεμο, γεγονός που δικαιολογεί και την ονομασία του (Μάρτσαλο σημαίνει Καλό Λιμάνι στα λατινικά). Στο μέσο της παραλίας υπάρχει μια αποβάθρα για τις βάρκες που έρχονται από τους Καλούς Λιμένες ή τα Μάταλα. Δίπλα υπάρχουν αρκετά αλμυρίκια που προσφέρουν φυσική σκιά.
