Price: ~€5 per adult not including sunbed/umbrella (ticket counter outside facility)

Best For: Relaxing, sunbathing, quieter vibe

Family Friendly: Yes

Warnings: Limited shade, fewer facilities than Lido, can get windy

A more family friendly and laid back alternative to the main Lido complex, with a calmer larger atmosphere and fewer crowds. The facility is perfect for families as it features a kid pool play park. Perfect for parents to relax while the kids roam free and play. There is an adult pool, ocean swimming access (bring goggles or swim mask if you can as you can see goegeous schools of fish swim under), and a bar with delicous poncha!

Feels a bit more local and less busy.

Good choice if you want something quieter while still having proper facilities.
