In the near distance a woman and two boys walk past a parked car and along a covered path towards a beach that is busy with other sun-seekers relaxing on the sand under colourful beach umbrellas. In the sea people swim or paddle, others lay on inflatable lilos. From the cliffs a long sandy beach in the distance.
