Why it is worth your time
Materada lies well north of the centre, past the closer beaches, which keeps its stretch of coast noticeably calmer. It suits a longer outing rather than a quick dip between errands, especially for those staying in the resorts on this side of town. Bring what you need, since the setting stays simple and unbuilt-up.
