Police have not given an approximate age for the man, but they confirmed that his death is not suspicious.

The beach, which is typically packed with tourists and residents during the summer, was quiet in the early hours of Tuesday as police kept passersby away from the scene.

Half a dozen police officers and forensic staff examined the body, and then removed it from the beach.
