Beaches don’t officially open until early May. Why? I cannot say as there are plenty of people here well before then. So much for extending the season. Our local beaches are not prepared at all. One is so full of mountains of posidonia it’s hard to say if there’s any sand there! People come down to it and stare in disbelief then scoot off to find somewhere else.
