User reviews
"Surpassed expectations. Suitable for families. Excellent water for snorkeling and swimming or relaxing by the ocean. Amenities include showers and bathrooms, although there were porta potties this time. Not exactly paradise, but with free parking and convenient access, it's tough to find a better option in the area."
Kellan Asher
"While the natural beauty of the beach and the upscale neighborhood it's located in are undeniable, there are several areas that could be improved to enhance the overall experience. The dirt parking lot could be paved, the bathrooms are consistently closed, and the portable toilets are dirty and emit a strong odor."
