Guide
Good to know
Arrive before 10am for space
One regular reports the beach stays uncrowded between 10am and 2pm, but mornings are quieter still for volleyball and activities.
Wide sandy beach for families
The beach stretches long with fine sand and abundant space, allowing families to find spots even on busy summer Saturdays.
Water gets deep quickly
Multiple visitors warn the sea deepens rapidly from shore, which affects comfort for weak swimmers or young children.
Bring or buy an umbrella
Shade structures are not provided; visitors must purchase umbrellas from beach vendors or bring their own.
Check tide for plastic debris
One visitor reported the afternoon water contained plastic litter, though the beach is generally described as very clean.
