By the beach there are several bars and restaurants which are about 10-15 minutes walk along the promenade and only 2 or 3 minutes by car. The bars and restaurants all have amazing sea views and are very busy and popular with locals both day and night during the main tourist season and at weekends. A better and safer beach you will not find in this area, the lagoon is perfect for young children and the open sea is a great playground for older children and adults alike.
