Guide
Good to know
Arrive before mid-morning
The beach stays quiet until around noon, when campers from the adjacent L'Ametlla campsite begin to arrive.
Go for snorkeling and marine life

Wear water shoes
The seabed is entirely pebbles, and reviewers repeatedly mention shoes are necessary to walk comfortably.
Expect seaweed and algae

Check sea conditions beforehand
