We just got back last night (16th) from SS.  Was pretty shocked about the beach - we went last in 2008.  It felt totally different - as people have said SIGNIFICANTALLY narrower by the Athina and all along there - the football pitch seems reduced buy the Havana Bar.  It's funny really, the sand has banked up at the back and we always got to the end of the sunbeds before the nudist beach and the past two weeks this was the busiest end.  This has really changed - the beach is flat and spread out more and by the nudist bit it is much wider - it's possible now to sunbathe on the beach to the furthest point around the headland - the rocks etc have gone and the sand flattened out. Seems to have been really cleaned and sorted out. So, in essence, the beach is thinner but spreads out more to the very end cliff (which used to be unreachable).  The beach feels a bit more crowded as not as many people around the Manthos, Waves and Athina end - they have just spread out further along - but in reality it is still comfortable on the beds - there is plenty of space around you.  Abou 300 yards out into the sea is a large sandbank and also there are pools of water (like little ponds) before the seashore ALL along the beach now not just one at the nudist end.  You ahve to wade a very long way out to get any sort of deep water. The beach is still good though and the last few days when the weather became SCORCHIO the sea was just still and turquoise and warm as a bath - FANTASTIC!

Almost makes me want to leave the confines of the Romanza during the day!! Might make the effort this year to spend a few days on the beach. I just love the ease of having my room and the pool bar near by!

Jules:
We are the same Gav  - like to be by the pool but also we do like a morning walk up the beach - seems we will be able to go a bit further this year as well. Roy is going to go for a daily run along the beach as well.
