Not really a wave beach but ideal for some good kite sessions. Shallow water especially in high tide. There are some rocks on the far left and right of the spot, that can be seen at low tide. That doesn't really represent a danger as the rock as long we know where they are. Best for wave with East winds. Large beach of sand with seaweed and some waste litter. Enough space to launch the kite, watch the walkers on Sundays and during summers though. No shower nor toilets. The sideonshore wind is a perfect wind but a sideshore wind can do though. All year season depending on each individual. Water temperature never exceeds 17°C in summer. Don't forget your 5mm suit with boots (for the shells and litter again). Water: Shallow, Chop, Smallwave, Mediumwave. Features: Parking. Rider ability: Beginner, Intermediate, Expert.
