Beaches
The beach in Santo Tomas is one large, long sandy beach broken up into two pieces. The part in front of the hotels with sun loungers and bars next to it. And on the other hand, the beach part in front of the villa and residential area is more natural. The best part here is in front of the restaurant Es Brucs. It is usually the most peaceful here, but you still have food and drinks nearby.
