Access
|
No walk |

Rules |
None |
Better check actual weather before visiting this spot. Summer can be very hot and crowded. There are 2 windsurf/kitesurf schools at the beach - both well equipped, have rescue boats. Also it's a nice spot for wakeboarding on windless days.
Beach parties almost every weekend during summer months.
