The beach road runs parallel to the shore, separated by a low concrete wall and a strip of tamarisk trees that provide minimal shade. You park in a gravel lot marked by faded paint and walk across warm asphalt before your feet meet sand. Umbrellas in neat rows stripe the beach, their fabric snapping in the morning breeze that slides down from the mountains.

The water is the temperature of bathwater in July and August, the shallows extending far enough that children can wade safely while parents watch from beach chairs. The sand is fine-grained and gray, darker than the southern beaches, holding the imprint of every footstep. A stand-up paddleboarder glides past, barely moving, the sea surface almost glassy in the afternoon lull.
Behind you, the development is practical rather than picturesque: apartment blocks, a small supermarket, a tabac with faded awnings. This is where French and Italian families spend a fortnight each summer, establishing routines—morning swim, lunch at the same beachfront café, afternoon nap, evening stroll along the promenade. The rhythm is predictable, the pleasures modest and reliable.
