Beautiful beach, we dropped by in October so it was cold and windy but looks like a great place to visit in the summer.

Very long sandy beaches. And you can always find a place where there are not many people. In suitable weather, there is a surfing school where you can rent a surf with or without training.

Mostly few people visiting the beach. Cold water, nice sunsets, lots of waves for surfing. Be careful with underwater currents. Bath between the flags. Best to swim at the north end of the beach.

A great place for walks and nice relaxation on the beach between the rocks as well as for swimming on a board 😉
