We visited here as part of an excursion; arrived and left on a boat.
The beach is protected as the turtles use it to bury their eggs. To mark the area used by them, there is a series of poles indicating the highest point they go, and rope showing the part closer to the sea.
Within this area, you are not allowed to sunbathe, place beds or dig holes as this might disturb any nests, or catch unwary hatchlings.
However, you can bathe on the foreshore section between the rope and the sea, and there are a small number of sunbeds which you have to pay for to use.
The sand is actually small gravelly types stones with very small pebbles in it. The sea doesn't really move much with the tide, and there is a bit of a drop acrelatively short space from the shore.
There is a basic cafe (no alcohol) and some wooden walkways that lead from the toilets and changing rooms. The cafe has a small amount of tables and seating.
I went back to the boat we arrived on, and some people were throwing small pieces of crab meat into the water. This was mostly eaten by small fish that were in a large shoal.
However, at one point, a single turtle emerged from the water briefly, before diving down under the boat; it was quite magical to see.

We only went on the beach and didn't eat or drink anything there. What an absolutely stunning beach, especially as we were staying at a place where the beach is not very nice. I felt like I was on a tropical island.
