Shrouded by a lush littoral forest and neatly separated from the sea by Sandbar Beach, this is a family favorite for those eager to enjoy a spot of water-skiing, kayaking boating, fishing, stand-up paddle boarding or windsurfing (the open lake waters making for a windsurfer’s dream!). With an impressive catchment area spanning 32 square kilometers and waterways of 11 square kilometers you can enjoy all the benefits of this unique, tucked-away calm waterway. Additionally, the scenic Cellito Beach can be accessed via a boardwalk at the northern end of Sandbar Beach.

The highlight is definitely the outdoor shower and the friendly birds. The only negative is that one of the downstairs bed creaks really loud and the mattress is bad. Luckily we didn’t need all the beds ##### Diana B.
