TL;DR
Jazz Corner beach entry is comfortable, water warms up by evening. Sunny Days has a good entry point. Avoid swimming after 4pm when yachts return.
The beach entry near Jazz Corner is comfortable with plenty of fish visible in the shallows right from shore. Water feels cool at first but you quickly adjust.
The Sunny Days beach entry is one of the better spots. Water gets warmer in the evening, but from 4pm onwards returning yachts and small boats cause chaos — noise, fuel smell, and drivers who deliberately scare swimmers.
Some beach entry points are awkward: moored yachts on one side with fuel smell, sharp rocks on the other where you can easily hurt your feet. The water in these spots can also feel quite cold.
Shallow water near certain shore entry points teems with cornetfish, which have grown accustomed to swimmers and don't flee.
