Because of their diversity and beauty, irresistible charm and intimacy, you may find yourself in a dilemma when it comes to picking the right beach for you.

The entire island is one beach, which transforms from secluded to intimate, to nudist to the one astir with crowd, fun and red-hot summer rhythms.

Whether you select a quiet and secluded cove or a sandy rhapsody, one thing is certain, you have chosen your place under the sun.
