A passer-by came across the skeleton while on the beach and immediately contacted the 112 emergency call centre.
Officers from the Provincial Gendarmerie Command’s Criminal Branch were then dispatched to the scene together with specialist crime scene investigators.
The area was examined by the teams after they arrived following the emergency call.
Investigators established that the body had decomposed so extensively that only skeletal remains were left.
They also found that the deceased was wearing clothing described as resembling a swimsuit.
No information has yet been released about the identity, age or sex of the person whose remains were found.
Authorities have now launched inquiries aimed at establishing who the deceased was.
The circumstances surrounding the death have not been disclosed.
