Sometimes gets crowded but never to the point of being uncomfortable. Good mix of couples, families and gays all getting along well together. There can sometimes be overspill of textiles from Big Banana, but never a problem. My correspondents had two weeks of great nude fun in August 2000 and can recommend it to anyone. At the beginning of September 2000 everyone was nude apart from the very occasional bit of textile.
Families tend to favour the Southern end, the gay communities the North end.
My contributors really enjoyed the friendly atmosphere that existed between the nationalities, mainly Brits and Dutch, and between the various sexual persuasions. The beach was easily accessible, and it was immaculately clean. Another report from September 2000 says the beach beds could do with a clean and a few repairs and the taverna staff could do with a course on customer relations but other than that a wonderful time was had by all. The Captain visited Small Banana in June 2001. There was hardly a scrap of clothing in sight anywhere, but the beach was very busy with not much room between the sunbeds and umbrellas if you prefer to sit on a towel or a beach mat.
