Officially signposted as Aplostra, but still popularly known as Lady’s Nile Beach in honour of a mare named Lady that a British officer used to exercise here, the east shore is, in fact, closer to four miles of grey, hardpacked sand. No permanent development has taken place since it remains the property of the British Ministry of Defence and also because, with a mosquito-plagued salt lake behind, it is not very good as a beach. The barely sloping tidal flats are better for jogging(and dune-buggying, popular with locals) than sunbathing. Every few hundred metres there’s shack-like cafe or taverna catering for the weekend crowds, but as sings warn you, various activities, including camping, are prohibited since parts of the beach are supposedly a turtle-nesting area.
