User reviews

"This beach is my absolute favorite. The crystal-clear water and pristine sand make it a true paradise. There are many affordable dining options nearby, making it easy to grab a bite to eat. However, if you plan on driving, be sure to arrive early as parking on the street fills up quickly. It's not a touristy spot, mostly frequented by locals, which adds to its charm."
