A distinctive sour smell often assaults visitors as they first step into the bay area. Yet Xigia beach is famous for precisely this reason since the oddly familiar scent is a result of sulfur that has seeped into the seawater from mining coves a stone’s throw away. Let the cool water wash over you to ease the aches between your joints and drift with the gentle current as the sun warms your skin. Known for its therapeutic properties against cellulite and arthritis, Xigia beach’s waters are much sought after for a relaxing dip. The shore falls away rapidly a few meters into the ocean however, with depths of over 10 meters so swimming skills would be rather handy while at the beach. A rather curious quirk of the beach comes from the tavern at the beach which interestingly uses a basket on rails to collect orders and deliver dishes to and from a reception at the shore. If you’re looking to spend a relaxing day to ease the kinks in your muscles after extended travelling, drop by Xigia beach and you won’t be disappointed.
