User reviews

"I rated this beach five stars, but unfortunately, it wasn't a great experience. There were a lot of redheads around who seemed to be watching us closely. However, there were plenty of restaurants nearby. Just a heads up, if you happen to spot a guy with a middle-part perm, it's best to steer clear."

Aiden Larson

"The beach is stunning and has numerous areas where the water is shallow. Additionally, there is a center for kite surfing and multiple dining options available."
