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 7 visitors · 2018–2026
Bring children for calm, sheltered water
The bay has calm, low-wave conditions and underwater stairs or ramps for entry, making it suitable for young swimmers.
Plan a long waterfront walk
The promenade stretches over 1000 meters with benches, green areas, views of hills and bay, and access to nearby restaurants.
Visit at low tide for actual sand
At low tide the beach widens to roughly two meters across its 1000-meter length, exposing fine sand.
Some shade is available
Visitors mention trees, cliffs or umbrellas to get out of the sun.Mentioned by 3 visitors · 2018–2026
Check the tide before visiting
At high tide, sand disappears almost entirely and the beach becomes a narrow strip or vanishes completely.
Expect a small, narrow beach
Even at low tide, this urban beach is a long thin strip rather than a wide sandy expanse.
