03 · Location

In context.

A vast, sheltered fine-sand bay, 9 km long, facing SSW, small and mellow, with rockier ground west giving more dynamic conditions. Best swell arrives in spring and autumn; summer brings crowds and small waves. Kite and wind/foil sports are banned in the bay when seasonal buoys are up, mid-May to mid-September, aside from a kite channel open 12:00-19:00 to experienced kiters. Lifeguards cover it daily 12:30-19:00, July-August. Tidal range is about 4.9 m.
