History
The beach developed adjacent to a traditional fishing settlement where residents built wooden huts in the early 1900s as seasonal dwellings for fishing activities. These early structures shaped the local identity and the community's relationship with the sea.

The northern section is used by local fishermen who continue traditional maritime practices, while the southern area draws swimmers and surfers throughout the year.

Outdoor parking, bars, restaurants, and shower facilities are available throughout the beach area. Lifeguard coverage extends across the main swimming zones during the warmer months.
