A very nice beach. It was too cold for swimming when we were there, so it wasn't very crowded. Good parking facilities, toilets available for a small fee 👍

Nice place to pitch a tent with access to drinking water and paid toilets. There are not many places to park your car overnight - most of the parking lots are marked "no camping"
