There is a (new?) sign saying no overnight parking allowed.
Lovely spot! Sitting on a bend so be careful when parking up, brilliant place for a sea swim & there is also a trailer sauna! There was a sign that said no overnight parking.
A magnificent view, exactly the kind of place we enjoy.
We spent the night here with our large motorhome. A magnificent sea view. Indeed, there are many swimmers early in the morning, and it is also noisy when the tide comes in, but with earplugs the place remains perfect. There are rather few spaces, but it is worth trying.
Tight parking until all the swimmers leave but well worth it.
A lovely quiet night spent here, busy from 6am with swimmers, chatted to a few local people and was made very welcome, tight for parking.
Very beautiful but very narrow. Avoid during holidays and/or in good weather.
4 July 2025. One of the few pleasant spots in this area. Quiet at night. Only locals come to swim. Bin on site.
loverly place would of given it a 5 star, but its extremely busy with sea swimmers from 5:30 in the morning until 11:30 at night you will not get any peace 100's of cars and people coming and going constantly cars park everywhere as there just isn't enough room, we had people parking that close to us they struggled to get out of there doors, one opened there door into our motorhome.
Beautiful spot for a night's parking.
Very quiet night, but from 6 a.m. more and more people come to swim, so sleeping is no longer possible.
Great spot for the night, quiet.
Magnificent spot! We did not sleep here, we only had a picnic and a drink by the water. It was a wonderful moment. There is even the possibility of using a sauna for €15.
A place frequented for swimming at high tide. Space for 9 cars and 3 motorhomes; after that, vehicles extend onto the road. No camping prohibition. No amenities. Two benches for picnics. The gentle sound of the water accompanies the night.
We spent one night here, swimming in the evening and then in the morning, with a view of the island. Quiet night! More or less level. No services.
