Expect a small sandy area
The actual beach is narrow, mostly grey sand with seaweed, so adjust expectations for sunbathing or swimming.
Arrive early for parking
Free parking fills up, especially on sunny weekends, so be patient or try residential streets nearby.
Bring a jacket year-round
Only June through August offer warm weather; other months require layers even on what seems like a nice day.
