The guide · The beaches

17 beaches, by the road you reach them from.

Beaches are listed by the road you reach them from and are not plotted on the map. Everything else on this site is placed by evidence — a cadastral parcel or the book's own map — and there is no comparable source for a beach outline, so rather than drop a pin by eye they are left as a list. Surfaces and public or private status are as the sources below give them; where two sources disagree, both are shown.
