My personal favourite beach. Very safe for children as the small island breaks the waves. Lovely wooden cafe and great facilities eg shower toilets and car park but be prepared for a €5 charge.

If you don't mind a 90min drive (can be longer in heavy traffic) Villasimius has two great beaches either side of the large marina & a lagoon. Great place for diving. Beautiful but more of a resort!
