Lakka Beach
One of the peninsula beaches closest to the city. Its small bay has clean sand and gentle waves, and beachside snack bars serve grilled fish, making it ideal for a half-day outing.
Lakka lies about 10 km south of Lumley. Its enclosed bay has smaller waves and is much quieter than the city beaches, making it a favorite spot for locals to swim and picnic on weekends. Along the shore are several beach bars and guesthouses. It takes about 30 to 40 minutes by taxi from the city center, and it can be combined with Hamilton Beach and other small bays nearby. It is crowded on weekends and quiet on weekdays.
