Heading east, you come to Alykes Beach, which is better known locally as Sopab Beach after a factory that once stood here. Wedged between the Deck Cafe & Bar and the Alexander the Great hotel, this is a perfect spot for families with paddling tots, with rock pools and shallow, clear water, as well as sufficient sand for sandcastles. The sprawling terrace of the overlooking cafe is also convenient for refreshments and drinks (including grown-up cocktails at sunset).
