The walk along the promenade to the lighthouse and the oyster and seafood stalls was quite enjoyable.

The beach features a small promenade area that stretches along it, with over half of it being occupied by a sizable parking lot. The majority of the restaurants and shops are situated behind the parking lot, resulting in a lack of sea view and instead offering a view of parked cars.

I wouldn't recommend this beach for beach activities. The shoreline had quite a few rocks and the water wasn't very clear, although it was low tide. However, the area does offer some lovely restaurants and the scenery is absolutely beautiful.
