User reviews
"The beach is fantastic and stretches for a long distance. Finding parking is easy, except if you're going towards the old town. There are plenty of spaces to park your car. However, there are no food or drink options available, so you'll need to bring your own or take a long walk to find something."
Ethan Kellerman
"This beach is truly magnificent. Despite its length, it remains very pleasant to visit. The way it is framed by two points gives it a cozy and inviting feel. However, I am left perplexed by the maintenance of the beach. While it's great that the dune belt is allowed to develop, it's hard to understand why a restaurant is set up on the beach during the summer."
