User reviews

"The beach is absolutely stunning and it's worth noting that there's free public entry. However, parking is limited and unfortunately, it's not accessible for wheelchair users. There are no facilities available on the beach, but it's a great spot for taking photos and there are picnic tables available. Additionally, the beach is dog-friendly and there's a park nearby."
