Although small, it's pleasant and has excellent facilities. It's a shame about the rocks at low tide.

Lovely beach! And the pool for kids is excellent engineering. Water is chilly, as is the atlantic. My only issue was the price of the rental for the sunbeds. 40 euro is insane and ridiculous. 20 would have been a fair but still expensive price. If the owner charged less he could increase volumes. Anyways its bad greedy business sense - his main costs are capital costs and one staff member and the laundering of towels. He is way overcharging based on all that.
