This large stretch of sand is for sunbathing and relaxing on holiday with all the family. The water is clear blue and involves a walk to get to the water’s edge and into deeper water. Swimming is restricted between the floats in the sea but it is perfectly safe anywhere along the shore.

Striking out into deeper water is a rewarding swim, in salt, to bathe away all tension from the heat.

The width of the bay brings rather choppy waves, which rush in against a rapidly retreating tide, so it is a challenge to find a rhythm in swimming strokes. There are some rocks in small groups along the beach, but it is mostly sand and shells.

I find refreshment for a hot day, in the beauty of God’s saltshaker.
