"Holiday-like energy with a strong focus on water fun and sunbathing."

Pro Tip

"Book your parking ticket online in advance! You cannot pay for parking at the gate, and car access is denied if the quota is full."

Visitors love the clear water and sandy beach, often comparing it to a Mediterranean holiday. However, frequent complaints target the complicated online ticketing for parking and high weekend crowds.
Recommended For Families looking for a beach day, sunbathers, and water sports enthusiasts.
