TL;DR
Arrive at beach opening at 8:00 AM — by 8:30 AM most sunbeds are taken. After 3:00 PM it's nearly impossible to find a spot.
Arriving at 8:30 AM on a busy day left almost no shaded or enclosed spots — only one remained at the far end of the beach. Crowds are growing, so even a 30-minute delay can cost you a good spot.
The beach opens at 8:00 AM, which prevents the usual sunbed-scramble chaos. Restaurant queues are a separate issue — waiting about an hour after opening helps avoid the rush.
At 8:00 AM the beach is nearly empty and sunbeds are available. By 3:00 PM it's packed and finding a free spot is nearly impossible.
