Guide
Good to know
Better alternatives nearby
Visitors recommend continuing another hundred to two hundred meters to reach a larger, more scenic beach past the maritime museum.
Good for dog walking and strolls
The beach offers a pleasant walk along the bay near the city center, and is popular for exercising dogs.
Tiny beach, manage expectations
Multiple visitors describe it as very small, more of a cove than a full beach for sunbathing or swimming.
No lifeguards on duty
The beach is not officially recognized, so lifeguards do not patrol and injuries or marine hazards go unmonitored.
Leash your dogs strictly
Owners regularly let dogs off-leash despite the nuisance to other visitors, and enforcement has resulted in fines.
