Monitoring<\/h3>\n\n

The beach has a first-aid post. In season, it is supervised 7\/7 from 10am to 6pm.<\/p>\n\n

Conditions for swimming<\/h3>\n\n

The water is clear and rich in fish, which makes for interesting snorkeling. On the other hand, these fish can sometimes bite swimmers. An anti-medusa net, installed from June to September, allows safe swimming, even if the bathing area is reduced. The water runs deep very quickly.<\/p>\n\n
