It's nice to go here to enjoy a quite place while looking at the beautiful sea. I was here in November so I'm not sure if it's a great place to swim in the summer or not

Winterbathing is the only right thing to do when it's this cold.

Good public beach in a residential area, with a comfy dock from where you can easyly get into the water. It's not too large thus in the busy days it tends to get full pretty quickly. Only downside is that when the algae remain in the shore, they tend to stink a little bit
