User reviews
"The beach is rather petite and seems to be bustling with individuals from the surrounding hotels. Certain areas of the beach appear to be restricted as private property. Despite these minor setbacks, the beach is quite delightful for a refreshing swim and to indulge in some fun activities. The beach is maintained quite well and is relatively clean."
