Vast unspoilt beach, lovely to walk along or spend the day on a sun bed. There are beach bars dotted along, some of them stay open for dinner at night. There are lifeguards on the beach.

A huge beach, almost abandoned when we were there in May. What really sets it apart though is that there are cafes and bars all along it's length but set back in the dunes.
