Tips

Hiking

The beautiful Dog's Bay has a spectacular horseshoe shape with a white sandy beach that is more than a kilometer long. The sand does not consist of conventional limestone, but of shell fragments that give it a pure white color. The beach is naturally protected by the headland and is considered safe for swimming and is also ideal for other water sports such as windsurfing and kite surfing.
