A great spot for surfing! The waves are perfect for catching a ride and the shoreline is full of rocks, making it a great challenge for experienced surfers. Plus, there's a restaurant, a club for drinks, and a camping site all within walking distance - less than 200 meters away! It's definitely worth a visit!

That place may be one of the best in the area, however the parking isn't ideal. It's not free, so you'll have to pay 3e for the day, which isn't exactly cheap. Furthermore, the shower facilities are quite outdated and worn out, so they could do with some improvement.

An ideal spot for those seeking a quality outdoor experience with their furry friends. The atmosphere is pleasant and the people are friendly. It would be great if the government could open up more pet-friendly locations like this one.

We had the luckiest of days when we visited the beach in mid October. The sun was shining brightly, the sea was tranquil and warm, and there were hardly any people around - it was truly a beautiful sight! We were so fortunate to have such a perfect day, though I'm sure not all days in October are like this.

This beach is not the ideal spot for canine companions, as the sand is too hot and the waves too rough. The salty water can be hard on the sensitive paws of dogs, and the sun can be too strong for their fur. All in all, it's not the most comfortable spot for a pup to relax.
