Guide
Good to know
Come outside peak summer season
Off-season visits offer tranquility and fewer crowds, though reviews note the beach can draw tourists during summer months.
Visit for promenade walks and dining
The wide, well-maintained seafront promenade lined with bars, restaurants and shops is the main attraction for many visitors.
Wear water shoes in the water
The beach is entirely pebbles and stones with no sand, making barefoot wading uncomfortable and potentially painful.
Expect a steep drop-off quickly
The seafloor drops sharply after a very shallow nearshore area, reaching deep water within meters of entry.
Arrive early for parking
Free parking fills quickly; at least one visitor spent 45 minutes searching before resorting to a paid lot.
