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 · 2017–2026
Plan for a very long walk
The beach stretches over 2 km with firm sand, making it excellent for extended shoreline strolls.
Visit outside July and August
Early June, late October, and winter offer warm water with far fewer visitors and calmer conditions.
Enter water carefully for loose stones
A row of small stones lines the water's edge in most areas, though sand begins after a few meters out.
Check wind and wave forecasts
Strong winds and rough waves regularly cloud the water and make swimming uncomfortable; calmer days are noticeably better.
Expect variable facility conditions
Restrooms, showers, and lifeguards are normally available, but April visitors found facilities locked and bins overflowing.
