This idyllic beach can only be reached by water, lending an air of exclusivity to its already charming atmosphere. Despite its allure, even during the busiest times of the year, the beach remains relatively uncrowded, allowing for a peaceful and serene experience.

This is a beautiful location with an absolutely breathtaking beach. It's a small, private area that's perfect for spending a few hours in the sun. Just be sure to wear your flip flops because the sand can get quite hot!

We had an incredible time on the Ophelia catamaran, soaking up the sun and enjoying the refreshing sea breeze. The highlight of our day was the delicious beach BBQ, which we savored while taking in the stunning ocean views. We spent a few hours splashing around in the crystal-clear waters, laughing and creating unforgettable memories. Overall, it was an amazing beach day that we will cherish for years to come.
