Tip by

4.05 km

This sandy and shingle beach is a peaceful place to sit and enjoy the coast. You'll find a cafe and a few shops here too. If you're into diving, you can explore the wreck of Breda which is just offshore. The cargo ship was carrying aeroplanes, cement, rupees and horses when it was damaged by a German bomber during WWII. None of the cargo was salvaged except the horses, who managed to swim ashore.
