    A good window is the first 30 minutes after sunrise when the light is soft and the sea reflects a warm gold. For sunset, aim about 30 minutes before the sun dips behind the cliffs. Bring a wide angle lens (24 35mm) to capture the cliff line and the beach in one frame, and a sturdy tripod so you can keep exposure steady in the lower light. If you’re staying nearby, Villa Luca By Elixir Cliff is only a kilometre away and offers easy access to the cliff views.
