This is the beach you have seen in the brochures - but with other people on! There are plenty of other empty beaches but Lazio is iconic so a day in the waves here is a must. Stay within the shark nets ( some people did not and the life guard did not insist), have a cold drink or lunch... More

A must visit on anyone's list in Pralin. We spent 2 days here on this wonderfully soft white beach with crystal clear warm waters. Truly amazing, simply relaxing. Gentle waves, enough shade to keep off the sun if you choose. There is enough space for everyone to enjoy the beach even if there are many people there. Easily accessible, we... More

The only lifeguard we saw, then learned it was where the shark attacks had been. Part of beach now cordoned off for swimming. Restaurant was good.

It is consider one of the best beaches in the world and it is totally deserved. Perfect sand and sea, with enough shadow to spend the day. There are shark nets - although personally I don't think it is necessary! There are 2 restaurants nearby and sufficient parking space.

Anse Lazio did experience some very negative press in 2011 (two deadly shark attacks), however, it i s a great place to spend some 3 to 5 hours - swimming is fantastic, snorchelling is not exceptional, but the overall scenery is just a great experience. Make sure you ask the lifeguards (plenty around) whether swimming outside of the safety nets... More
