Be sure to take the narrow path along the shore, not the wide road. It's more secluded, shady, and offers some beautiful views of the water.

Better to reach by mountain bike. The condition of the path is special. Narrow, undergrowth and actually probably a hiking trail but... worth it.

Here you can watch wonderful birds. When swimming you should be careful, there is a fairly strong current towards the sea.
