"During the month of August, this beach tends to be quite bustling with activity. Additionally, it's worth noting that the parking lot is exclusively reserved for military personnel and their loved ones. However, one of the standout features of this location is the abundance of fantastic restaurants and takeout options situated right on the beach itself."

Daniel Westwood

"The beach is absolutely stunning and the seaside is remarkably clean and serene. It's worth noting that the beach offers free public entry."
