As nice as you can get one with very clean white sand. No rocks in the 20km radius. During the summer you have wind every day.

Wind from 12-20 knots during the summer, 15-25 when the good East wind enters in the winter. Wind side to sideon from either side (East, SE or SW).

Short wetsuit during summer or 3/3 long for the East winter wind. Summer from May to end of September. Water: Chop. Features: Rooms, Rescue, Shower, Toilet, Food, Parking.
