User reviews

"The beach offers of breathtaking beauty, however, it is disheartening to witness litter scattered all around, particularly beer cans that end up polluting the ocean. Recycling facilities and garbage bins in strategic locations would go a long way in preserving the beach's pristine condition. Nevertheless, it remains an ideal spot to catch a glimpse of the splendid sunset."

Laney Jaspers

"The beach is pleasant, however, there seems to be an abundance of debris left behind from food consumption. Additionally, there are hazardous rips present, making it important to exercise caution when swimming."
