"The beach is undoubtedly picturesque, but the waves are nothing to write home about. The scenery may be breathtaking, but the lackluster waves make it difficult to enjoy any water activities. Overall, the beach falls short of expectations and leaves much to be desired."

What to do in Grande Beach? Are there any attractions or entertainments in region?
If you like outdoor activities, the Grande Beach can offer such an experience. In particular - SUP surfing. The beach stands out for an excellent base for this kind of sport. And the bonus is the gorgeous scenery from the water. Just try, we recommend it!
Extremes can be moderate or excessive, so if you are a fan of the first type, than Grande Beach welcomes you, offering kite and windsurfing. If on the contrary, it is not your kind of activity, we recommend you to find another beach, since the presence of lots of kite surfers on water can have a negative impact on the comfort of your leisure.
