"This spot is conveniently located nearby, and it's a great spot for families! The pebble-strewn shoreline is perfect for playing, and the nearby restaurants provide a great opportunity to refuel after a fun day. And the kids will love the children's park, which our own kids (ages 5.5, 3.5, and 2) have visited multiple times."
