User reviews

"This serene beach is undoubtedly one of my cherished spots. Surprisingly, the Good Friday crowd was sparse, which added to the tranquility of the place. The beach is well-maintained with ample trash cans, and the shaded areas provide respite from the sun. Additionally, the rocky sections add to the peaceful ambiance of the beach."
