In the less touristy months this beach is a pleasant one to walk along, especially in the morning. There is a mix of the locals getting their morning swims or runs in, walkers, people walking their dogs and a few tourists taking photos of the bathing boxes.

There is nothing around this place, you gotta take your food and everything from your place otherwise, when you get hungry there is no way...
