The coast does not need a compound name to be itself. Walk away from the loudest umbrellas. The interesting hour is when fishermen mend nets and the water turns from tin to bottle-green.
Swim if it is safe
Swim if it is safe and local custom allows. Dry in the wind. Eat something that still tastes of the morning catch. Leave the branded beach clubs to those who came for a logo. You came for salt.
