What to do in Egrets Beach? Are there any attractions or entertainments in region?

For those who wish to engage in something more extreme than a lazy holiday on the beach, it is worth noting that Egrets Beach is excellent for surfing. This kind of activity is suitable for beginners and for professionals. The waves in this region you can see in the photos above or study the reviews by our users. And by the way, on the beach you can take surfing coaches!

Extremes can be moderate or excessive, so if you are a fan of the first type, than Egrets Beach welcomes you, offering kite and windsurfing. If on the contrary, it is not your kind of activity, we recommend you to find another beach, since the presence of lots of kite surfers on water can have a negative impact on the comfort of your leisure.

6 Pleasant

The beach is a pleasant expanse of sand, pebbles, coral fragments, and large rocks. I found myself walking barefoot most of the time. While I was there, they hosted an Adventure Day with a cinema, food stalls, and beverages available for purchase. You can catch a beautiful sunset from this spot. Regrettably, there is a significant amount of small plastic debris scattered across the meadows.
