A 15 to 20 minute stroll takes you through the surrounding farmland, past the low pine forest and sand dunes to the most beautiful blue flag sand beach that runs for around 7 miles. There are no buildings except a row of old terraced fisherman's dwellings, and just the pine forest and a large lake and bird sanctuary with watching huts. There are 3 very Spanish restaurant cum bars on the beach over a stretch of around a mile. Walking along paths through the forest and around the lakes, watching all the many species of birds, then back along the beach to get a drink at a beach bar, then through the pines back to the road is a joy.
