Bassin Dombret beach

This beach is famous for picturesque natural pool which is a lake separated from the sea with rocks. This allows to enjoy swimming in still waters almost near the noisy ocean waves. Sea water in this natural "bath" is much warmer than in the ocean. Directly near the lake, a sandy beach area has been artificially created to host guests. This place is especially popular among families with children. As for the main sandy beach, it is located beyond the lake and especially popular for vacation at the end of July.

The water in this reservoir is cleaned and renewed artificially every 2 weeks. Usually the beach is closed during this time. In order to get here, you need to go from the city center to the lighthouse tower on the beach, near which there is a small free parking, and to the right is the "pool" itself, which was closed for restoration in 2005. Rocks along the outskirts were strengthened, hence swimming became the safest here. There is also a small rocky beach near the lighthouse, but swimming is prohibited there.
