Guide

Good to know

Best for walking and sunset views
The 400-meter beach offers plenty of room to stroll without crowds, with notable views of the historic cable tower.
Ideal for families with young children
The beach is spacious with shallow water extending far out, plus maintained showers and toilets nearby.
Visit in November for fewer crowds
Winter months bring noticeably emptier conditions compared to summer when the beach fills with activity and events.
Arrive before 11am for parking
The lot fills quickly by mid-morning, especially on weekends, leaving few spaces even with early arrival.
Wear water shoes for entry
Rocks line the waterline and bottom in varying amounts depending on tide and location along the beach.
