Guide
Good to know
Reported good with little kids
Visitors often mention shallow or calm water. This is what reviewers report, not a safety assessment.Mentioned by 11 visitors · 2018–2025
Fine sand beach, very wide
The broad sandy expanse stays uncrowded and is cleaned daily, even on busy days.
Shallow water extends far out
The seabed slopes gently for many meters, allowing wading and snorkeling away from shore.
Visit on weekdays, not weekends
Summer weekends draw crowds, while weekdays remain quiet and spacious even in July.
Expect strong Tramontana winds
This beach is frequently windy, which keeps temperatures manageable but affects water conditions.
Parking costs one euro per hour
Blue zone parking runs five euros per day, though free spaces exist five minutes inland.
