User reviews
"We were pleasantly surprised! The beach had calm, clean water, with a part of gray sand and pebbles on the shore for the kids to play. It was also great to see that the beach was adapted for people with reduced mobility. We'll definitely be back! Plus, we got to take home a small jar filled with shells from the beach as a souvenir - how cool is that?"
Iris Bostwick
"Head to the beach for a tranquil escape with the family. The waters are crystal clear and the atmosphere is peaceful. There is a promenade nearby and beach bars where you can have a bite to eat. It's the perfect spot to get away from the noise and busyness of the city."
