We had a fantastic time at the beach - it was practically deserted, so we had the place to ourselves! A real treat. 🤩👌

A short stroll from the port and you'll find yourself at this beach. Unfortunately, the water is not as clear as it could be, and it's quite busy. If you're looking for something to do away from the beach, there are plenty of coffee shops, bars, and restaurants to try, but you may be disappointed.
