Azur Plénitude - November 2024

La plage de la Salis est très populaire et par conséquent très fréquentée en été. La baignade y est particulièrement agréable, avec une eau claire et des fonds composés de sable. De plus, la zone de baignade est peu profonde et en pente douce, le tout sous la surveillance des sauveteurs. Le cadre est très agréable, avec une superbe vue, mais la route à proximité immédiate peut être un problème pour la sécurité des enfants. Enfin, les places de stationnement se font rares, ce qui pousse à arriver très tôt le matin.
