Loving the beach

The main beach we have been coming to on Kolocep Island (pronounced-Kolochep) is a sandy beach which is the exception to the rule in Croatia. Most beaches are pebbles or rocky - like the picture from the day we arrived..... The island is a small - car free island, and so the only mode of transport is walking. Luckily the beach is a short walk from the apartment - once you have negotiated the 157 stairs - and the kids have been having a ball here. As you can see from the photos, the sea is calm and as flat as a dam. The water is a little colder than expected especially after the "cold" front & rains. Emma & Leo have been playing very nicely with Zara, giving us a nice break. Zara loves the beach so much she has literally devoured it.... I decided there's no point in stopping her & causing a scene which will no doubt then cause her to want to do it more , so as predicted, soon enough, the novelty wore off and she stopped eating the sand.
