… what does it mean that practical reasons?

Well, the situation is, if a person goes often by bicycle, practicality is indeed important.

Let's go backwards now:

Beaches

Golden Bay

Golden Bay is located next to Riviera Beach, separated by a cliff. My assumption is that the name might be related to the so-called "Golden hour" or perhaps to the color of the sand, but it doesn't really matter what it's related to; if someone likes associative games, they will remember this name.

The beach is also easy to reach, located on the west side of the island, making it perfect for sunsets. There are a few restaurants and kiosks nearby, and a hotel above it.

There are usually many people, but if one goes during the "golden hour" on weekdays, as I do, the number of people is ideal.

So far, I've seen only one purple jellyfish, while on the Il-Kalanka beach at the southeastern tip of the island, I saw about a hundred, so it is not necessarily endangered.

And finally, a few words about practicality, which probably made every reader (my mother) very curious.

If you are on a bicycle, it is important that:

• You can roll all the way down to the beach.
• The ascent on the way back is only moderately steep.
• There is a "foot shower" because of the sand, so you don't have to put on socks and shoes with sandy feet.
• You can lock your bike.
• It is safe.
• You can watch the sunset from a nearby spot beforehand.

All of this is provided here, so I highly recommend this beach to cyclists, those looking for a good beach, sunset lovers, everyone!
