Enjoy!
What? The water in the postos has never been an issue, since is the same anyone will have at the hotel. The issue are the irregular showers on the beach itself which are set up by the beach vendors by pumping groundwater.

Every year the talk about dirty sand is discussed. It's nothing new, nothing unknown. If the sand strip is occupied by thousands, it's only natural that it gets dirty, even if the water was absolutely unpolluted.

What do you really expect when this happens?
