View of Navagio beach from the precarious observation post. There is no way to get to the beach on foot. There is a path that seems like it would lead to the back of the beach, but it just disappears after you walk on it for twenty minutes or so. The way back to the parking lot is uphill too. A host of tourist boats arrive at the beach about eleven in the morning and uload hundreds of passengers who spend the day basking in the sun and enjoying the crystal clear waters.
