For my taste, it's more suitable for walking out of season. This is also a great place for children to play and swim. However, if you want to have some distance from fellow bathers or expect a white sandy beach, you've come to the wrong place. Otherwise a very nice idea with the island

The water level in the lagoon fluctuates only slightly and you can swim there at any time.
