Visitors often mention shallow or calm water. This is what reviewers report, not a safety assessment.Mentioned by 7 visitors · 2016–2026
Expect seaweed and natural debris
The beach remains largely unmanicured with seaweed, small stones and shells scattered across sand and in water.
Ideal for long walks
The beach stretches for 16 kilometers with a boardwalk through protected pine forest and natural dune systems.
Plan around low tide
At low tide the water recedes roughly 500 meters, exposing tidal flats ideal for exploring shells and wildlife.
Visit in shoulder season
September and May offer warm water and fewer crowds than peak summer months when the beach becomes uncomfortably.
Some shade is available
