Setting & Location
The hills that surround the bay and beach are covered in hotels and holiday apartments, so if you are staying in resort, it is unlikely it will take you very long to walk to the beach.

The beach is 1.3 km long and 100 metres deep and sandy, so even in the peak summer months, you should be able to find a space for your towels.
