TL;DR
Yes, loungers go early — arriving by 6:30 AM is recommended. A useful tip: claim spots in the bocce ball area, where loungers are more spaced out and it's less crowded.
Getting up at 6 AM pays off: by 6:30 the beach is quiet, the air is fresh, and loungers are still available. The bocce ball area is a smart choice — loungers there are more spread out, so neighbours can't crowd you. The bar is also nearby. If you want direct sun, just pull the lounger out from under the umbrella.
Many travelers find waking up at 6 AM just to secure a sun lounger unacceptable on a holiday. If you prefer to sleep in, it's worth checking with your hotel in advance whether paid lounger reservations or less competitive beach zones are available.
