In context.

A wild, roughly 1.5km golden-sand beach break backed by a protected dune monument, split by a river mouth, with rocky outcrops emerging at low water. It is a NW-facing surf spot with right and left peaks, one suited to all levels with waves to about 1.5m, plus quieter peaks toward the naturist-tradition west end. Currents make swimming hazardous on many days. Dogs are prohibited. Lifeguards operate daily 11:30-19:30, mid-June to mid-September.
