User reviews

"This is our go-to beach! It's perfect for families with young children as it's always peaceful and the shoreline is spacious with soft, golden sand. Unlike other beaches in the area, there are no rocks that could be a hindrance to the kids' water activities. I highly suggest this beach for parents looking for a stress-free day out with their little ones."
