Season & hours

Tips

You can use the west beach parking lot (150 spaces). The management building operates July and August, so use it as a rest and changing point during the season. Summer sand gets hot underfoot, so don't forget beach sandals. Late afternoon sun becomes gentler and more comfortable.

Best time to visit

From early afternoon (after 1 PM), the sun is slightly softer, providing plenty of time for swimming until evening.
