Guide
Good to know
Expect very cold Atlantic water
Several visitors report the ocean temperature makes swimming difficult despite the water being clean and clear.
Plan for seagulls and vendors
Seagulls aggressively steal food from hands and plates; friendly street vendors sell drinks and goods along the beach.
Visit in winter for fewer crowds
The beach is excellent and clean year-round with less chaos than summer, though Atlantic water remains cold.
Arrive early in summer
Parking fills by late morning on weekends, and July and August are extremely crowded.
Bring a towel for children's pools
The free shallow pools for kids under 12 are excellent, but one reviewer encountered no shower water on their visit.
