Cala Cap Falco

Small beach, but has a shower and wc. Very relax ambient until you meet the manager. Really unprofessional and unkind women. Totally ruined the experience that day for us. If they had a new manager i think this place can be one of the best on island.

The beach next to the hotel I stayed at was absolutely lovely. They offer sunbeds and parasols for rent at a cost of €13 per day, until you check out.

Please note that lifeguards supervise 117 beaches in the region, but you should rely on more than just them, remember the elementary rules, as lifeguards are not on duty around the clock, even on equipped beaches!
