The sea bathing is becoming more popu-
lar the season and as the water rises in
temperature. The bathing hour is fixed
here from between II and I o'clock. and it
is never changed. The condition of the
beach is such that the bathing does not
have to be suited to the time of the tide.

beach has gradual descent to the edge of
the water and the strand is free from gull
lies and holes, and, therefore. the danger
of accidents is remote.
