Acqua fresca e perfetta per farsi un bagno e nuotare dopo aver giocato per ore a " la palla" sulla spiaggia, racchette in legno con pallina da tennis che fanno un incredibile rumore, sport molto divertente e tipico del posto. La stagione permette di godere anche di lunghe camminate con una bella vista. Per gli amanti di sport acquatici a voi la scelta.
