Nice and has golden sand, but the dog beach is unfortunately quite small and full of rocks. If a wave were to overtake the dog, it could potentially result in an injury.

The beach offers stunning views and a large, pristine stretch of sand. There are also showers available for visitors, and the beach is easily accessible, making it a great spot for a day out.

This spot is an ideal spot to chill out and soak up the sun. It's a great place to relax and take in the scenery, and there's a little area for your four-legged friends to enjoy too.
