I can only agree with Andreas. Don't (just) get stuck at the beginning, but go to the island and a little further. The further you go, the less there is going on. Even if everything is already crowded at the front.

For me too, the island is the highlight here, not the main beach that is overcrowded with Instagram followers. What I don't understand is how someone can rate most of the great photos negatively?

The long island can be reached by wading through water that is no more than 50 cm deep. You shouldn't miss it. There is no commercialism here, just peace and quiet. For us, that's the real highlight here. Black lava rocks, small sandy bays and great rock formations dominate the picture. There are also pink mussel deposits here and definitely far fewer people. At the north-western tip there is a rusty lighthouse powered by solar energy and a small chapel - top, top, top!
