Impressive pebble beach bay beneath high cliffs. No access from the north or south, as the beach ends in both directions at cliffs that reach into the water. Above the cliffs are large hotel complexes (resorts), which are completely fenced in! An elevator leads from the complexes on the cliffs down to the beach. Otherwise, it's extremely difficult to get to the beach or the bay!We didn't understand Vera and Sammy's two tips!We nevertheless reached the bay in February, taking complicated and arduous routes (path to the resort, always following the fences back in a curve to the northwest, descending to the closed path to the bay in the opposite direction to the southeast) and then following paths back up to the road north of the bay. We have documented this complicated route in a separate section: "Access to Zagare Bay." Good luck with "copying" or "finding your own way"!

The path off the road is a bit of a scramble. If you drive 250 mtrs past the start of this walk there’s another well prepared trail that leads further east with views back to Mergoli Bay.

Very nice little bay next to the hotel, accessible via a footpath straight up the street through a ravine, be patient.
