User reviews
"This location is a hidden gem, with minimal tourist activity, and a vibrant local community. Ample parking is available, and there are a few bushes for those who prefer not to venture into the ocean. The water is breathtakingly stunning and invites you to indulge in its splendor. In the words of the Terminator, I'll be back to this picturesque beach."
Kamryn Jolie
"Although this beach is pleasant, it seems to have an excess of sun loungers in proportion to its limited area, leaving little room for free movement. It may be an ideal spot for a peaceful day by the sea during off-peak times or if you enjoy sharing your reading material with your neighbors."
