There is not one scrap of rubbish in sight.

Just watched this video, I'm sure I saw that short grey haired guy with the baseball cap flick something into the sea, I'll be keeping my eye out for him next time!

Wrong Jimbo ;D

1min 49 secs in you walked past a large water bottle stuck in sand, clearly visible to your left!

Also, it was difficult to see the state of the sand near the cliffs where most of the rubbish tends to gather.

I am certainly not trying to put people off visiting San Stef beach, most of it is clean but the nudy bit is not.

I love this video - didn't realise it was yours Jimbo - I watch it to cheer me up as I do the same walk many, many times when I am there.

Iwould hate to put anyone off !
The majority of the beach is amazingly clean considering the number of people who use it and the state of the greek economy. The guys who run all of the sun bed concessions really do their part and the fact that many of them help by providing ash trays means that if you are on a sun bed you do not have other peoples' disgusting fag ends to deal with.
However the very far end really does get tatty. It's a price I am prepared to pay for my all over tan, but I often have to clear an area of "stuff" before I put my towel/mat down. The vast majority of the rubbish has obviously been brought in by the tide, not left by users of the beach.
 I am aware that the sunbed guys have no incentive to clean up that end and would not expect them to. So I will carry on carrying my carrier bag and trying to do my bit.

As we often stay at the Romanza we use the cliff path and usually stay at the cliff end of the beach where the last set of sunbeds end. If memory serves this is the last binned area of the beach. This is often full but seems to be cleared every other day or so ( peak season )  Got to be honest though I cant recall seeing a major litter problem around the cliff area. The one thing I do see is people searching for the softer clay like stones (at the waters edge near the cliffs) and then covering themselves with the stuff. I can only guess this is a some form of  miracle /anti wrinkle /rejuvenating treatment? ( anyone know / tried this? ) It must work because everyone at that end of the beach appear to be carefree  and in good spirits!
