Sand and Origin
It is said that Cleopatra swam to this Island and sent ships to bring sand from Egypt. This sand, made up from perfectly spherical seashells, is famous not only for its story but its crisp golden color. It is forbidden to take any sand from this beach and failing to do so will cause legal issues. The waves are small and calm with warm water perfect for swimming.
