We know it is the first day of summer here in the northern hemisphere, so it should be easy for you to imagine the following setting. Close your eyes, imagine long curved golden beaches, a deep blue gently lapping sea. Add a few umbrellas, groups of chatting friends, extended families, finely toned men practising martial arts moves on the sand, the odd volleyball net. Listen to the calls of ice-cream and jewelery sellers ambling past. Taste the cold beer, the water sipped from fresh coconuts, smell the delicious melted cheese and meat kebabs at nearby stands. No, this isn't a travel ad, and it is not Venice Beach, this is a real destination, promise.
