In context.

A long, semi-wild Atlantic sand beach backed by pine forest and dunes, reached through a protected dune-forest perimeter that falls partly within a Natura 2000 protected zone for dune habitat and birdlife (a landward, not marine, protection). Consistent Atlantic waves suit surfing and bodyboarding, with cool water; no rock or reef hazards are documented. Lifeguard-covered during the bathing season, 15 June to 15 September.
