CAMPING – Camping on a beach as a recreational activity offers you an opportunity to visit a special place of beauty and color. The waking up to the pastel colors of early dawn light. The wonderful smell of coffee brewing on an open fire. The haunting sounds of a distant buoy singing a ship’s lullaby. The summer sea breeze blowing gently through your hair.
