Season: summer
Named after the Norman monks who crossed to here from Lyra Abbey, this charming, secluded beach was once the haunt of smugglers. Nowadays, you’ll find occasional lobster and crab fishing in the bay. At low tide, there is plenty of sand and the small beach has a pleasing crescent shape. With a promenade and wooded cliffs beyond, the setting is one of peace and tranquility. This is a place to get away from it all.
