Practical intel
Zorah Beach Hotel is worth visiting even just for lunch — the Italian cuisine with local ingredients is exceptional. Natural pools are best 2 hours before low tide. Access is via mixed road (asphalt + sand), a regular car is fine in dry season but 4x4 is recommended in rainy season.
