I've not been to the sands, does look nice tho, on google maps it seems a bit to far of a walk for us to the bars we like, thats coz we are lazy and like to crawl back to apartment

so shorter the distance the better!!!
I'd highly recommend CT...it's not too quiet and not too busy, just right!!
We've been twice and are looking into booking a 3 week - month holiday as soon as poss!! hehe.

Hopefully someone can else can advise on the sands?
