User reviews
"The beach area is beautiful and well-maintained, although the bathrooms could benefit from more frequent attention. The Gazebo is exceptionally clean, but it's worth noting that American Express is not accepted as payment."
Javier Salas
"The beach is a mundane spot to spend an afternoon, lacking any excitement or intrigue. The girl in the parking lot may have been pleasant, but she couldn't save the dullness of the location."
