The water at the beach was dark when we visited, and it didn't seem like a good spot for swimming. Additionally, there was quite a bit of fishing activity in the area. To reach the beach, you have to cross the dunes, which can be done with ATVs, trucks, or 4x4 cars. However, even with a 4x4, you need to be cautious not to get stuck. One interesting sight at the beach is the remains of a German ship that was wrecked there years ago.
