User reviews
"Although there is some seaweed on the shore, this beach is still quite enjoyable. It has beautiful golden fine sand that feels great on your feet. If you're worried about the seaweed, bring some shoes. Overall, it's a nice beach with stunning blue waters. DJ Mylo, signing off (and getting ready to rock your party tonight)."
Lynette VAURS
