Beach
Type: No Information Size: No Information Hazards: No Information Beach crowds: No Information
A very large beach of nice and soft sand at low tide, it could be a bit far away to walk to the sea when it's low tide. At high tide there is only a little part of sand which is enough to put the stuff of everyone. There are no rocks. No problem to launch and land kites. Edit
