"This beach is an excellent spot for taking a stroll and soaking up the sun."

"It's advisable to visit the beach in the early hours of the day as it tends to get crowded later on. Though the authorities have placed bins all around, there's still a considerable amount of litter and cigarette butts scattered around. However, the beach now has toilets, and there's ample parking space available. Additionally, children can enjoy themselves in the playground..."
