The beach offers ample shade and a plethora of activities to keep children entertained, such as an inflatable aquapark, dated playgrounds, a trampoline, and various food options including pancakes, pizza, and french fries. The water remains shallow for at least a distance of 50 meters all around, making it ideal for families with young children. However, some may not appreciate the less transparent water and the presence of jagged rocks both on the beach and in the water.
