I was there in June 2017 and loved the private beaches. We paid to get onto the beaches - but it was well worth it. You have restaurants where you can order beer / water and pizza from and they were so helpful with us . We had our 3 year old son . Water temp was great , sand was smooth - food at il Bertolino was amazing We overnight at a hotel called Villa delle Palme- it has a beautiful view and hotel and staff amazing - they speak English and they were very accommodating. It’s definitely one of favourite places .
