User reviews
"This beach sure is something - alluringly picturesque, a sight to behold. But it's not all sunshine and rainbows - the sand can be scorching hot, and the waves can be quite strong. All in all, a decent spot to spend a day."
Maeve Adeline
"Be cautious of the nude beachgoers! This place is pleasant, with not too much sand, and it has bathrooms and showers. The scenery is beautiful."
