It combines exemplary clear waters with a wonderful coastal promenade that is bustling with life, offering countless all-day options that turn every visit into a complete entertainment experience.

It has umbrellas, sun loungers, showers, changing rooms, while it is one of the most accessible beaches as it has an installed SEATRAC system for autonomous access to the sea for people with disabilities. There are also well-maintained accommodations on the beachfront.
