A changing cabin and shower facilities are present, though their exact placement relative to the beach’s main area is not specified in the catalog.
Swimming and shore
Swimming conditions are not explicitly detailed in the catalog, but the gravel shore suggests the water’s edge may be uneven. The beach’s natural setting implies it is likely unguarded, with no mention of lifeguards or safety equipment. The absence of structured amenities like umbrellas or sunbeds indicates a more informal, self-sufficient visitor experience.

Basic facilities include a restaurant/snack bar and a café bar/drinks stand, suitable for light meals or refreshments. A children’s playground is present, making the beach a viable option for families. The changing cabin and shower facilities support hygiene needs, though their availability may depend on operational hours not specified in the catalog.
