Then it’s time to let yourself be lulled by the sound of the waves and the wind… Take advantage of these moments to relax… Reading and sunbathing, strolling with your feet in the water, playing ball on the beach, contest for the most beautiful sand castle, no doubt you’ll find something to keep you busy in this Eden.
