Plan it in practice
How to plan it
- Choose the beach by purpose first: short city stop, full beach day, family services, snorkelling or a dog-friendly option.
- Open the beach on the map before deciding how to get there; location often matters more than small differences in ratings.
- Check current flags and seasonal services on the day if accessibility, lifeguards or sea conditions are important.
Common mistakes
- Choosing only from photos and then discovering that the beach type or services do not fit your day.
- Treating a parking icon or listed service as a guarantee that it is available at that exact moment.
