Picnic, tanning, reading, and resting are all good The waves are just right, so swimming is good too.. The water is reasonably clean and the sand is good (there are a few small seashells) It's open, so it's a great place to enjoy the sunset There are many restaurants nearby, and it's easy to get to by bus from the city Public restrooms are also good
