    Alma beach

    Watch the sun set toward the WSW. The sky turns orange and purple over the water.

  4. 17:38

    Onza

    End the evening with a modern Middle Eastern dinner at Onza. It is an upscale spot with a Turkish flair, just an 8-minute walk from the beach area.

Local tip

Alma Beach has no breakwater, making the waves bigger. Stay out of the water if you are not a strong swimmer. Onza requires reservations, so book ahead if you plan to eat there after the sunset.
