The rating measures microbiological quality and does not tell you where swimming is safe; the bathing season runs from 1 May to 31 October.
Are there beach clubs, parking and facilities?
We don't know. We found no reliable sources on:
- how you get down to the sea and how far you walk;
- where you park and how much it costs;
- whether the beach is sand, pebbles or both, and whether there is shade;
- whether there are beach clubs, bars or toilets;
- whether special rules apply, for example for dogs.
We won't fill these gaps with guesses. If you go, bring water and an umbrella and ask on site.
