On this part of the urbanisation there are numerous bars and restaurants and prices are very reasonable.
Beaches will generally become popular from late May to late September, this is the time the beach bars will be open. They serve cold drinks and delicious food and some also put on entertainment in the evenings. During the winter season the beaches are mainly enjoyed by walkers, joggers and fishermen, however, on one of the frequent blue sky days it will be warm enough to sunbathe and have the beach all to yourself!
