Magnificent place! The sea level between low and high tide makes the landscape to transform completely. Both moments have their own beauty. Worth spending a whole day here just to see the greatness of the island. There are not too many shops around so better to came prepared with all you need. Bring water, an umbrella for shade. There are plenty of spots between dunes to sit down and to be safe from wind. Anyway the wind is not strong. Perfect place for windsurfing and kitesurfing. Splendid!
