Coast/Beach
There are 3 beaches within a few hundred metres from the flat, the nearest ones are next to the building and accessible without crossing any roads. Several other beaches are within easy walking distance. The main beach has life guards in the summer. The beaches are sandy with some stones. They are very child friendly and offer great rock pool fishing at low tide. Guethary is also renown for its surfing spots, one of them is right in front of the balcony!
