"There are many small fish in the rock pools at this beach. It's definitely worth checking out."

Zephyr Calindor

"This beach is a great spot with plenty of rocks for the waves to break on. Just watch out for sea urchins. You'll often see some dogs playing on the beach and turtles swimming in the sea nearby."
