Guide

Good to know

Come at low tide for paddleboarding
When the tide recedes, the flats provide ideal conditions for paddle surfing and exploration.
Visit for long walks and solitude
The beach stretches very wide and long with minimal crowds, especially outside peak season and peak hours.
Avoid Saturday afternoons in summer
Weekend peak hours attract fishermen, loose dogs, and loud music that disrupts the otherwise peaceful atmosphere.
Watch for fishing hooks in water
Fishing debris, especially hooks, poses a hazard to both swimmers and dogs throughout the beach area.
Expect few facilities or services
The beach offers minimal amenities, so bring what you need for the day.

Measured from OpenStreetMap, public aerial imagery and live conditions data, and counted from visitor reviews. Every source, in full.
