Problem
I saw a video of N a v a g i o Beach (Shipwreck Beach) and it looked crowded. What's it like visiting?
Answer
I thought the video might be a joke, a photoshop. The video starts with the classic picture of the beach from the cliff above, with the isolated shipwreck below, the way I aw it years ago on a press trip.
I tried Google, to get the history, then TripAdvisor to get updates. Yes, you can certainly visit it. After reading numerous reviews I found a few nuggets of vital information.
A trip to the shipwreck and nearby caves can take between one and four hours. That may leave you with anything from twenty minutes to an hour on the beach by the wreck.
Depending on what type of boat, and whether you want to see the caves as well and whether you shop around for a special deal the price can vary from £20 to £40.
Tips
You can go off season or early in the morning when it is quiet. Later in the day in high season it can be really busy.
You might not enter the cave unless you are prepared to swim. (I don't know how deep it is or whether you get any kind of life jacket or supervisor with life saving skills.)

I must admit, having only seen it from a distance, I would be interested in going back, despite the crowds.
