Due to its small size and the presence of areas at risk of hydrogeological hazards, Rabbit Beach can accommodate a limited number of people.

Therefore, in order to protect the environment and the sea turtle breeding site, ensure a respectful experience of use and improve the offer of services, from 9 June to 12 October 2025 access to the beach will be limited and in two shifts (morning 8.30-13.30, afternoon 14.30-19.30), for a maximum number of 550 people per shift, of which 435 can be booked online.
