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 8 visitors · 2016–2026
Expect cold water year-round
Even in 40-degree heat, visitors report the sea is consistently cold, particularly disappointing for those expecting warm Mediterranean water.
Plan for a gentle beach entry
The sand slopes gradually into deeper water, and many visitors bring small children to play on the wide sandy expanse.
Visit on weekdays in June
The beach is quiet and uncrowded on weekdays, with reserved sunbeds and umbrellas less likely to block access.
Arrive early on weekends
Parking becomes difficult by mid-morning, especially during summer and on Sundays in peak season.
Bring cash for beach rentals
Sunbed and umbrella rentals cost around 7.50 euros, and inflatables run as high as 18 euros per hour.
