Know before you go
Hi, I'm Eve. Here are a few practical things to know before exploring Golden Horn Beach.
- Arrive early, especially during peak season (July and August), to secure a good spot and avoid crowds.
- Bring water shoes, as the beach is pebbly, and the stones can be uncomfortable to walk on.
- Stay hydrated and use sun protection, as the sun can be intense, and shade is limited in some areas.
- Explore both sides of the beach, as one side is typically calmer for swimming, while the other is better for windsurfing.
- Take a walk along the promenade to Bol for cafes, restaurants, and souvenir shops.
