There is also a marina to the east of the beach, and a promenade for those who enjoy strolling by the sea. The beach's proximity to the airport influences the operating hours of nearby amenities, which tend to close early. Despite this, the area is enjoyable for a walk, especially when it is all lit up in the evening.
