Where sea meets land. An excellent place for exploring and viewing all kinds of nature.
I’m not talking here about walking around with an ice cream, dodging towels on the floor and admiring scantily clad sun worshippers. I consider that to be a perfectly good waste of sand.
I prefer to use my four wheels to get to areas of coastline that are pretty much uninhabited.
