On the way to the beach, we came across a marshland with very many noisy seagulls. There’s a small parking area catered especially for this beach and hiking trails. There was nobody when we arrived. The beach was also covered with slimy sea algae foams. We saw a Navy ship patrolling the area. We later found out that it is due to refugees trying to cross over to England by fishing boats or swimming 😳 Apparently this happens all over the coastline..

Sandy beach. Shallow water Upto 50 meters inside. Good for sports and chill! - No restaurants nearby. Better to carry food along. - Toilets available near parking clean!

Loved it. Good body surfing, great life guards, not to deep but a huge long slope to the sea. Lots of nature and good parking. Very well marked, even in English.

Amazing beach and wildlife area. Sadly, there was sludge left on the sand from the tide mark. is this pollution? From the factories you can see? We did not swim because this sludge was everywhere and stuck to your feet
