The waves here are still somewhat merciful, you can get along even if you're not a water sports enthusiast. There are no public showers, toilets, etc. The beach is extremely clean, you could eat on it.

Ganz toller Strand, alle Erwartungen voll erfüllt, ideal für weite Spaziergänge, durch den ständigen Wind nie heiß, aber Achtung ⚠️ viel Urlauber hatten starke Sonnenbrände !!
