A remote beach with a hard hike

A remote beach on the northwest coast, of sand, small stones and rocks; medium depth. The route passes abandoned threshing floors and ruined farmhouses on the Patelida plateau. It faces west.

Unorganized, path-only — and a genuinely hard hike (the end of Route 6), with a faint path over rough terrain; solid footwear required.
