The beach was beautiful with clean sand, and there were plenty of activities to do such as sailing on the river. Additionally, there were a few restaurants available to choose from. We parked our camping car there before taking the Eurotunnel.

Perfect spot for sunbathing and relaxation. The town, which we visited on market day (Thursday), was pleasant and charming.

The beach has a wide boulevard and plenty of space to roam around. The sight of the dragon is captivating, and the beach itself is expansive with golden sand. It's great that there's free parking available. Along the walk, vendors offer good options, and the fisherman on the pier provide a fantastic view of the sea or the shore.
