Guide
Good to know
Some shade is available
Visitors mention trees, cliffs or umbrellas to get out of the sun.Mentioned by 5 visitors · 2017–2026
Plan for shallow water and young children
The seafloor slopes very gradually, so water stays shallow for a long distance, making it ideal for toddlers and non-swimmers.
Visit off-season for solitude
The beach becomes practically deserted in the off-season, contrasting sharply with crowded summer weekends.
Arrive early for parking in summer
The lot fills by late morning on weekends, though visitors report easy parking in shoulder seasons like May.
Expect sand in windy conditions
On windy days, airborne sand becomes heavy enough that visitors describe getting covered up to their ID card.
Bring cash for parking and rentals
Parking costs around two euros, and beach lounger and umbrella rentals are thirteen euros, with some vendors requiring cash.
