What the community said
The beach can be reached by bus in about 7–8 minutes or on foot in roughly an hour (one route goes through the Old Town). There is no food on the beach, Wi-Fi is paid, and it is worth bringing your own towels.

Guests at 4-star hotels on the second beachfront line note it's a long walk to the sea for multiple daily trips. Those prioritizing beach access recommend first-line hotels, while evening promenades remain enjoyable either way.
