Your comments

✎ Lifeguards, crowds only on the main beaches. Other huge beaches almost deserted. Good facilities, showers, restaurants on t4h main. Commercial beaches, and small cafes on the smaller ones. Course sand/gravel on some, pebbles and rounded stones on others. Water usually clear and warm. Lots of fish to see with a mask and snorkel, sometimes dophins further out
