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 5 visitors · 2018–2026
Bring water shoes or sandals
The beach has stones mixed with sand, making footwear more comfortable for walking and swimming.
Plan for tidal changes
The small beach shrinks noticeably at high tide, though a tidal island becomes reachable by swimming at certain times.
Avoid August afternoons
Parking fills with long queues in summer, particularly in July and August when fees apply.
Check for falling pine cones
Fir trees above the beach drop cones, so stay alert if sitting or walking beneath them.
