The beach is long and clean. In fact it goes all the way up into the snad dunes. We went for a walk one day and ended up at a nudst beach, which was rather a shock! All shapes and sizes!

Very good view of the Atlantic Ocean with very good restaurants all along - it very difficult to decide where to eat as they all serve very good food with great quantity and excellent quality

This is always a great place to visit. Plenty to do, plenty to see and always hot! The wind can be problems at times but still a lovely area.

If you are going to the beach to the left of the light house there are plenty of sunbeds and umbrellas, currently 7.50 euros for 2 beds and an umbrella, plus they put up screens when it gets windy. However come 17.00 hours they pack up and take the screens down and the umbrellas away, you can still use the... More
