"Beautiful small beach with a good size parking and a path to walk to Saint Cyr. In the small harbor you can look at some boats (including a few fishing boats). Besides this there's not much here - but that's probably for the better to have it more calm. 👍"
Claudio Kuenzler
"Quite a nice sandy beach with clear water. It bothered me a little that there is still very little water further from the shore, it is very gradual. Before ten o'clock in the morning, we waited for a long time before a parking space became available. Before noon, the beach began to fill up a lot, but this is logical in the summer season."
Tomáš Bury
"Stunning little beach. Perfect for families, swimming, snorkelling and sandy beach too.
Paddle boards, pedalos and kayaks can be hired here!
Two little kiosks for food and drinks. Reasonably priced too.
Parking a bit challenging but there is a nicely shaded car park a short 5/10min walk up the hill. Would recommend getting there early (by at least 10am to get a parking spot)."
