User reviews
"Perfect spot for a long stroll or an active game. At low tide, it's possible to explore the mudflats on the back side and find a wealth of marine life. Sadly, the wooden bridge leading to the beach has been damaged by fire in some areas. Nonetheless, the beach still offers plenty of space for a great day out."

"The beach had a large sandbank, but the wind was so strong that it was difficult to appreciate it. All in all, it wasn't a great experience."
