TL;DR
Travelers say there is no sudden drop right at the shoreline, but within a few meters the water can already be deeper than a 165 cm person. For an easier entry, one tip is to head to the square by the beach and then go a little to the left; one reference mentioned about a 10-minute walk.
What the community said
One suggested landmark for a more convenient sea entry is to first reach the square by the beach, then move a little to the left. According to one report, it takes about 10 minutes to get there.

One traveler noted that the depth does not increase abruptly right at the waterline. However, just a few meters from shore, a person who is 165 cm tall can no longer stand, so families with children should enter carefully.

Another comment suggests you should not expect a long shallow section: if you want to walk about 10 meters into the sea and still stand comfortably, this beach area may not be ideal.
