I recommend renting a beach chair and umbrella to save yourself from the sun. It made my day way more comfortable and enjoyable!

If you're planning to swim, go between 10 AM and 1 PM when the water is calmer. After that, the waves picked up and it became a bit challenging.

Definitely check the wind conditions before you go. It can get super windy, which is great for kite surfing, but not so great if you're just trying to sunbathe!

I think exploring the nearby dunes is a must. There’s some lovely, quieter spots just a short walk away from the main area. I stumbled onto this by accident and it was sooo worth it!

For easy parking, try to find a spot before 10 AM or use public transport. I got stuck in traffic searching for a spot and wasted my time. Ugh!

I suggest bringing your own snacks and drinks to the beach. The nearby cafes can be a bit pricey, and I regretted paying so much for a simple sandwich. Save that cash for something more fun!

Try to get there by 9 AM. The beach gets pretty crowded, especially on weekends. I was able to snag a great spot before the rush!

I recommend exploring the surrounding walking trails after your beach day. The views from up there are stunning and it’s super peaceful compared to the beach itself!

I suggest bringing your own snacks and drinks to save some cash because beach bar prices are crazy high. We spent way too much on just a couple of drinks

Keep an eye on the tide times. I didn’t and ended up with less beach space during high tide, which was a bit of a bummer. Better to plan your visit around it.

If you’re into water sports, shop around for rental prices. I found that some shops offer discounts for half-day rentals; it’s totally worth asking!

Grab some snacks and drinks before you hit the beach; the nearby cafes can be pricey and don’t always have the best selection. I wish I had packed a picnic instead!

If you're into water sports, rent equipment early in the day around 9 AM to get the best prices. It gets busy and costs can shoot up by midday.

I think exploring the boardwalk in the evening around 7 PM is a must. The atmosphere is lively, and you can find some great local dining deals as well!
