The beach’s multi-cove structure creates several small bays, offering diverse swimming and relaxation spots.Swimming and shore

Reviews
Great beach with little to no shade or shadow
Nice public beach. The water is very flat at the beginning. Large, new playground. New public toilets. Everything is new in 2023. Great for families.
Great beach for the family. Plenty of shaded parking spaces. If needed there's bed rental for 30kn per day. It's a pebble beach, make sure to bring your watershoes. There a bar where you can grab a bite to eat and drinks, this is cash only. Playground for the kids, and shallow water for the first couple of meters. All together a great day with the family.
