The allure of the beach was undeniable, even on a blustery day. Despite the winds whipping through my hair, I found myself captivated by the stunning scenery. It was as if the ocean and sky were engaged in a dance, their movements synchronized in perfect harmony. The sound of the waves crashing against the shore was a soothing lullaby, and I couldn't help but feel a sense of peace wash over me. As I walked along the sandy shore, I couldn't help but hum the words to On the Beach by Chris Rea. It was the perfect soundtrack to this idyllic moment.

The beach is quite lovely with crystal clear water and light, fine pebbles. However, it's not the kind of beach for those seeking a wild experience.

The shoreline tends to be rather congested, and if you desire to secure an umbrella, it will cost you 10€, unless you venture further away from the main thoroughfare where you can discover the solace of shaded trees and tranquility. The scenery is stunning, as it is throughout this entire coastline, and there is a lovely, albeit expensive, tavern nearby.
