The water wasn't the cleanest, but we still had a great time at the beach. Get there early or you won't find a parking spot - it was full of French people. Unfortunately, I dropped my pizza on the sand.

The beach had a lovely sandy shoreline. It wasn't too crowded, but there was still some activity. Motorhomes can park there, but it's best to arrive early to find a spot tucked away. There's a great creperie in the car park, and there's a designated area for swimming in a small cove. Best of all, parking is free.
