"This beach is absolutely stunning for watching the sunrise! During our visit, the only other person there was a fisherman."

Ryland.

"This beach is definitely among the top-rated in the vicinity. The shoreline is adorned with numerous palm trees, and there are a handful of coaches with umbrellas to provide some shade. Although the ocean may be a tad choppy, the overall atmosphere is absolutely delightful."
