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 12 visitors · 2017–2025
Plan to arrive at low tide
Shallow pools, exposed sand flats, and natural tide pools teeming with crabs and small fish emerge when the water recedes.
Check tide tables before you go
The beach shrinks dramatically at high tide and can nearly disappear, stranding visitors who miscalculate their return.
Watch for sharp rocks and shells
Rocks and oyster beds lining the beach can cut feet badly.
Parking costs around 4.50 euros
A temporary parking lot next to the beach charges a daily fee; arrive early in peak season.
