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 9 visitors · 2017–2026
Expect dark sand and pebbles
The beach has coarse dark sand mixed with small stones and pebbles, especially at the water's edge.
Visit on weekdays, not weekends
Weekends bring crowds that make the beach uncomfortable, while weekdays remain peaceful and spacious.
Check water quality before swimming
Reviewers report sewage spills, oily film, and brown sediment appearing in the water on many days throughout the year.
Bring suitable footwear
The sand becomes very hot and the pebbled entry makes water shoes or sandals necessary.
