Good to know
Reported good with little kids

Ideal for long walks and sunsets
The beach stretches for kilometers with fine sand and spectacular light, making it excellent for walking rather than swimming.
Visit at high tide for swimming
At low tide, rocks and seaweed make the beach difficult to use.
Expect significant seaweed throughout the year
Reviewers consistently report heavy seaweed that can make swimming difficult or impossible on any given visit.
Bring water shoes or sandals
Reviewers report stones and shells on the entry into the water that can irritate feet.
Plan around extreme tidal changes
At high tide the beach nearly disappears, and at low tide it becomes rocky and difficult to navigate.
