On a beautiful November morning, the sun was shining brightly at a balmy 26'c, making the stroll along the beach even more enjoyable than a cold, damp day in England. It was a delight to feel the warmth of the sun again, and with its golden fine sand, it was the perfect place to be.

This place is the perfect place to take a dip, even during the Christmas season! With temperatures reaching over 20 degrees and plenty of sunshine, you can relax on the 1.6 km long beach of yellow sand. Plus, it's easy to access and just behind the beach is a pedestrian street where you can buy anything you need.

A fantastic place to be, this beach has it all! With its wide, cool, and smooth sand, it's perfect for a day of swimming, lounging, or simply taking a leisurely stroll. Plus, it's easy to access and well-guarded, with lifeguards patrolling the entire area. It even has places to change clothes, making it the perfect spot for a holiday.

That place is the perfect spot for a stroll, with plenty of eateries to grab a bite along the way. But don't be fooled by its picturesque appearance - it's not all sunshine and rainbows here.
