It's a soft sand beach of 30x100m. There are no shells or rocks on the beach. The south side of the beach is usually used by kitesurfers and the north side by windsurfers. There is more than enough space to launch and land your kite. There are a couple of beaches at the water side and also a big parts of gras.
