The wide town beach has been improved – it’s actually cleanest in the bustling summer. In any case, locals advise that it is still not clean enough for swimming, particularly the section closest to the port. It works well for a seaside stroll, however, and the corniche (beachfront road) makes walking easy. It’s not a great place late in the day, when muggings aren’t unknown. There are plenty of attractive beaches down the nearby Atlantic Coast.
