Large and clean beach for walkers, surfers and fishermen. Surfers should be more careful about their position in the water when people are fishing there, it's probably annoying to get a hook in your body...Therefore it can be a bit hectic when the weather is nice. People should stay and take better care of their dogs who often go without pasture.
