Langre
A wild beach below the cliffs, with banks that work at low tide.
Langre is two sandy coves tucked between cliffs, a few kilometres from Somo. Its charm is the scenery and the quiet: you walk down a path and there are rarely many people in the water.
Waves break over sandbanks and work best at low tide with a west or north-west swell. It's less consistent than the neighbouring beaches: some days it's really good, others it closes out.
