Splendid on xmas day2019, just as it was a year prior: sun, a bit of wind chill but not enough to stop Santa from exiting a body surfing session

Pretty little beach that can be reached on foot from St. Lunaire through beautiful nature. However, there is nothing here but pure nature. Relax, swim, sunbathe, sink your feet into the glittering sand and simply let time pass by.

One of my favorite beaches. Access is from the golf course. The best is to park in the city center. The trail is magnificent. Do not come in a stroller.

Top beach, fine sand, pleasant to walk barefoot. For those who don't like the abundance of seaweed on the beach, they will be delighted. Very very very very little algae 🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣
