Its 502 metres of length and 21 metres of width are associated with calm waters, vegetation and a coastline defined as a protected natural setting. Low occupancy contributes to its relatively undeveloped character, while the listing states that naturism is permitted. It is reached on foot via a difficult approach from the N-332; cleaning and interurban transport are available.
