Small beach, nice little place, but not very relaxing due to the noise of construction work on every corner. Not recommended for a vacation there at the moment.

There is a toilet and trash cans as well as some seating. In winter only dogs are allowed there and in summer two years ago they were also allowed there. If you walk a bit you will come to a supermarket (Jumbo). Since there is no other beach nearby, it is quite nice. So it's full in the summer.
