I set of on a 7km hike to a beach with no roads to it, not even a decent path. The path was quite well marked with blue dots at 50m intervals. It was hot and very hard walking with sandals but what kept me going was the image that I had in my mind of a crescent of silver sand fringed by a turquoise sea with only me on it. As you can see the reality was somewhat different. They've actually fenced it off. I had to break in! Then I bought an orange fanta so that I could sit under an umbrella and they charged me €2.5 which seemed quite extortionate.
