Guide
Good to know
Arrive early for parking
Parking lines the road directly next to the beach with no promenade, and spaces fill as the day progresses.
Wear shoes for rocky sections
The beach has significant pebbles and stones throughout, making sneakers or water shoes worthwhile.
Visit on weekdays, not weekends
The narrow beach fills quickly in summer, and reviewers specifically recommend weekday visits to avoid crowds.
Check water quality before swimming
Several recent visitors reported the water appearing dirty, possibly related to a nearby water treatment plant.
No tent sun protection allowed
