The only option to buy groceries nearby is a small convenience store across the street from the marina with very little to offer but some bare necessities and at higher prices since it is the only game around. The next option is an Intermarche "express" on the way to the town itself or the big supermarkets about 2.5 kms from the marina (Aldi, Lidl)

Places to Visit
The marina is in a development complex completely devoid of any character and which could only appeal to the time share crowd.
