And what a beach! It stretches for as far as the eye can see in both directions – nearly 100km in all – in parallel bands of hard-packed swash zone, silky warm sands and a dune zone made for picnicking and hide-and-seek games. At dawn on a lazy Sunday, I donned my running shoes and ran 30kms along the beach (I’m training for a marathon). It seemed effortless as I watched the sun rise from the Atlantic horizon and slowly bathe the dunes and the hotels in a rich glow that also illuminated the pelicans diving in the surf. The beach is also fertile hunting ground for shells and fossil sharks’ teeth and a number of piers punctuate the endless strand and provide fishing opportunities.
