Pros: - Easily accessible, even for large campers (watch out for vehicles taller than 3m due to low trees) - Spacious, with at least 3 km of pine forest directly on a pebble beach by the sea - Lots of shade - Town with restaurants and bars a 20-minute walk away (unpaved road along the unlit beach) Cons: - Lots of trash scattered around, including piles of waste and even a refrigerator - Very crowded on weekends: groups of up to 20 people with loud music, large grills, and little respect for those looking for peace. We had to leave on the second day (Sunday) because a group set up camp in front of us (after getting into a physical fight with someone who had parked there before them). - There is technically a "no camping" rule, but it seems like nobody pays attention to it. We stayed for two nights and no one said anything to us. Highly recommended during the off-season or on weekdays, but avoid weekends and peak season. It's a shame about the waste from an environmental perspective.

Great location! Surrounded by nature, pine trees, and with the sea in front. Just be careful when passing under the bridge. We were able to pass with our 2.75m high Hymer motorhome (with a little room to spare) and it's not much wider at 2.2m. The place is quite clean for once. Some fishermen come here. It's calm. We had a visit from a flock of sheep in the morning, with a very kind shepherd. Be cautious during heavy rains as the area can get very wet and you might easily get stuck.
