Safety notes

  • Much of the coastline is hotel, club or reclaimed land. Public access is narrower than the map suggests, so confirm a beach is open to visitors before you drive to it.
  • The water is shallow a long way out and the tide moves across wide flats. Wear shoes you can walk in on the seabed and keep an eye on where the water has gone.
  • Away from hotel beaches, dress modestly on the sand as well as on the way to it.
