Golden Beach

Both a resort
and the largest beach on the island, Golden Beach on the east coast is a sandy
bay framed by spellbinding natural scenery.

The beach is
three kilometres long and is fringed by a low-impact holiday community, which
doesn’t spoil the views of the verdant hills close by, and the spectacular
escarpment a couple of kilometres behind.

There’s a string
of cafes and bars on Golden Beach, each offering a different deal for the sun
loungers.

In some places a
pair of loungers and parasol come with the price of a drink, but at other,
quieter sections you’ll pay a little more (€5 for a day) and get attentive
service.

As with Paradise
Beach, Golden Beach has low rolling surf.

There’s lots of
shallow water, but the currents can be too much for little ones on windy days.
