Kako Lagadi beach

We left cairns so just follow them down to the water. Awesome beach.

Sisia beach
10 Mickey Wolf

The beach is incredibly spacious and stunning, offering breathtaking sunsets. However, accessing it can be challenging, especially during scorching weather, making it more suitable for those who are physically fit.

Paralia Pesada
10 Larissa Valtieri.

The beach's stunning beauty is truly awe-inspiring, leaving visitors breathless. Although parking may prove to be a challenge, it is still feasible. Walking is a must, but it offers a chance to take in the surrounding scenery. Once at the end of the stairs, make a right turn and traverse over rocks and dry weeds for approximately five minutes. Before stepping foot on the small, sandy bay, it is recommended to remove your shoes. Despite its minuscule size, the beach boasts natural shade, which varies depending on the time of day. With a bit of luck, you may have the pleasure of sharing the tranquil beach with a few serene sunbathers and snorkelers. However, if luck is not on your side, you may find yourself sharing the space with a group of boisterous youths who enjoy jumping off rocks, blasting music, and disrupting the otherwise peaceful atmosphere. Ultimately, the experience you have at this charming beach is entirely dependent on the luck of the draw. 😊
