"That place is an ideal spot for an early morning stroll or a day of fun in the sun. With its crystal clear waters and gentle waves, it's the perfect place to catch a few waves or just relax. Despite the strong currents, it's a great spot to spend a day and take in the beauty of the ocean."

There is plenty of space for parking and many restaurants nearby for drinks and refreshments. Summert..."
