"Lovely day by the beach
A trip out to beach of the twin sisters to see the Turtle release.
An umbrella and 2 beds from "Teresa Mare" Paid €18 for the day and ate at the very comprehensive and friendly cafe attached to the hotel/beach. Showers, toilets, WiFi, lifeguard all included in the price.
Left belongings with the rental whilst we took our excursion up the coast.
Parking just off the beach at €8 for 18hrs, there is cheaper inland at €3 per day but didn't fancy the hike in the heat."
