"This beach is the perfect spot for swimming. It's completely safe thanks to the natural barrier, and definitely worth a visit. Plus, there's convenient parking available."

"This is a great spot for a swim, but keep in mind that it's not very deep, only about 4 feet. The waves are blocked by a natural reef barrier."
