User reviews
"This beach is a great spot for families to spend time together. The kids had a blast playing in the soft sand and there are plenty of options for dining and drinking. However, the downside is the toilets which are consistently dirty and unpleasant. Additionally, the beach is always crowded."
Sarina Delgado
