The magnificent white sand beach stretches as far as the eye can see.

Locals offer camel and horseback rides and the bay is famous for providing top-notch windsurfing conditions.

A few hundred meters across the water you will see the Purple Isles topped with the ruins of a Portuguese fort.

Along the beach you will find several small cafes – the perfect place to sip a mint tea or cafe-au-lait while admiring the astonishing view.
