Guide
Good to know
Plan for calm shallow water
The sheltered cove has minimal waves and shallow conditions, making it ideal for families with young children.
Visit for pine forest shade
A large pine grove runs behind the beach with picnic tables and benches, perfect for escaping afternoon sun.
Arrive before 10am in summer
Parking fills quickly on hot days, with some visitors reporting hour-long waits to find a spot.
Wear flip-flops or water shoes
The beach is covered with shells that can make entering the water uncomfortable without foot protection.
Check parking machine before arrival
Parking requires payment in summer, and the automated machine sometimes malfunctions or accepts only cards.
