A roadside rest area with a picnic table and views of horses and the sea in the distance. It is suitable for a night’s stop and can be quiet overnight, but traffic noise is noticeable until a certain time. The area is windy and has no wind shelters.

We spent one night there because we had driven a long way. We were alone. Quiet night.
Picnic area with a beautiful view from road 1. We became sleepy while driving at night and slept there so we could continue driving. Nobody disturbed us, except for a truck that honked as it passed to annoy us because the rest area is visible from the road. Do not leave litter and respect this place, which has a memorial monument.
Next to road 1, so fairly noisy until a certain time. Windy, but a pleasant place. A view of horses!
Very good parking area for spending one night. There is a picnic table. The road is noisy, though.
We arrived at 9 p.m. and left at 8 a.m. Another van also arrived in the evening. The night was very quiet. We were not disturbed.
Had a very quiet night here as well. No wind shelters, sleep only if it is not very windy
