Go for sunset views
The beach consistently delivers exceptional sunset experiences, making early evening visits worthwhile for the scenery alone.
Water is warmer than western beaches
Reviewers note the Atlantic water here is notably warmer than further along the coast, though still cold for some.
Visit early morning or weekday
The beach becomes severely crowded on weekends and holidays, with parking difficult to find and the promenade filling.
Check wind conditions first
Wind can be strong enough to spoil an otherwise pleasant day, so confirm conditions before making the trip.
Bring water shoes for kids
Broken glass appears occasionally on the beach, and sharp rocks on the dunes make footwear necessary for children.
