A small beach with red and yellow sun loungers for hotels only. There's no parking on the road leading to Anantara, so you have to park ahead. We spent a long time looking for a place to park, a long time looking for sun loungers, and we were sweating. We ended up sitting in the shade opposite the hotel, and they didn't kick us out. The sand is fine and light, pleasant, with some leaves and debris. The water is clean and pleasant; we were in the deep water near the shore. There weren't many boats.

A very nice, quiet beach. BUT. It's incredibly difficult to find natural shade in the morning. The hotels along the beach take up so much space, and it's not easy to get to the back left where there are more spots. I find the bay to the south much easier...

Nice beach, but EPL football fans beware. If you want to watch premier league on a Sunday evening, the two bars in town that show it are closed. Never expected that one, I won't lie.
