User reviews
"This beach is simply breathtaking. The water is pleasantly tepid, the waves are not too tempestuous, and it's perfect for families. Plus, you can claim your spot on the sand without spending a dime. And if you're feeling peckish, there's a concession stand that serves up scrumptious local fare at a steal. Who says paradise has to be pricey?"
