Sadly it's been completely commercialised now, which I think is a big shame. Piped music, tacky souvenir shops - but at least the stripy sands (as we've always called them!) are still there.
The brave (or foolish) go down to the beach by chairlift. I walk down the steps!
The cliffs have been tilted at 90 degrees over the ages, the vertical stripes are formed by layers of sediment that were (of course) deposited horizontally.
The colours are amazing. The tourist info states there are 21 distinct shades, and I can well believe it.
