User reviews
"This beach is quite convenient as there is paid parking available within a short walking distance. Although the beach isn't very wide, it can still accommodate plenty of people. The waterfront is quite nice and flat for quite a while, making it a safe option for kids. All in all, it's a great option for families."

"I made a nice little stop at this beach on my way, but it was pretty windy when I visited. Luckily, I was able to park my car for free. The beach was covered in lots of beautiful shells."
