A delightful seaside spot that can be reached by strolling along a footpath adjacent to the nearby church. During the early days of October, this place is incredibly serene, and the majority of visitors are naturists.

This beach is truly stunning, with an abundance of trees providing lovely natural shade. It's a peaceful spot, not too busy with people, and at the far end of the beach, clothing is optional.
