Hotel Beach


The "Grand Hotel Excelsior", where we stayed has a private beach. You get to this by taking the hotel bus the top of a cliff and then taking two lifts down to a cave where a tunnel leads out to the beach. The day we went it started raining after about an hour so we didn't do much sunbathing. The beach was all pebbles and the tide didn't do very much while we were there.

We shared the cove with a commercial beach. The unlucky users of this have to use the staircase you can see running up the cliff in the background. The road runs atop the big arch. The yellow and blue umbrellas and the nearer buildings belong to the hotel.

The beach runs a few dozen yards in the opposite direction before petering out into some vertical cliff.
