Guide

Good to know

Come for the promenade, not the beach
The walking and cycling path is the main draw; the actual beach is narrow and rocky with difficult.
Visit if staying nearby
One reviewer recommended the beach mainly for guests already at local vacation complexes who want a short walk.
Wear sturdy shoes
Stones cover much of the beach and shoreline, making barefoot walking uncomfortable.
Watch for seaweed and algae
Reviewers report seaweed and algae accumulate on the sand and in the water, making swimming less appealing.
Clean up after dogs
One reviewer found substantial dog waste within a short walk and flagged this as a problem area.
