"There are plenty of nearby amenities such as restaurants, hotels, and toilets, making it a great spot for us. We absolutely adore it!"
Ezra Martinez
"I'm absolutely smitten with this beach - it's easily my top pick in town and draws crowds consistently. The sand is soft and the water is shallow, making it a safe spot for children. Plus, the harbour arm provides shelter from any rough waves, unless there's a storm."
