When driving in the city centre and other built-up areas, the speed limit is 50 km/h, unless you're close to where children might be, like a school, where it often drops to 30 or 40 km/h. If you're on the rural roads outside of built-up areas, the speed limit will be between 80 km/h and 100 km/h, depending on what the signs say. If there are no signs, the speed limit outside built-up areas is usually 100 km/h.

There is car parking available along the full length of the beach, as well as in a car park by the beach's northern end. The cost for these spaces varies.
