The beach, one of the most famous in Caphiria, was created by a landslide in 1922; it is renowned for its high pinnacle 143 meters above the cove. Another feature of the beach is the natural arch that opens on the right side of the bay. The beach is composed of small white pebbles and is known for its white sand. Due to its overwhelming popularity, the local government has begun collecting an entrance fee of $15 and restricts up to 1,000 people during the peak season. The entrance fee enables the city to "protect and clean" the beach. The coast (approximately 100 meters) is completely closed to traffic of motorboats to preserve the beach from pollution and the assault of tourists. | The beach, one of the most famous in Caphiria, was created by a landslide in 1922; it is renowned for its high pinnacle 143 meters above the cove.

As a vacation area, Sacard receives a large influx of tourists during the summer months; the primary tourist areas are clustered around the main beach, which is referred to locally as "downtown." During the summer, house and techno houses (''cortiocă'') open throughout the day, and beach activities such as beauty contests, surfing, rugby, and beach volleyball take place. The lower part of the hill overlooking the beach is covered with residential buildings that sprawl up the hillside. These apartments are owned mainly by outsiders and remain empty during the September–March off-season. It has been one of Caphiria's pre-eminent resort towns since the early 20th century. | ||
