User reviews
"The beach was absolutely delightful, offering a picturesque view from sunrise to sunset. I had the pleasure of visiting this charming location recently and was blessed with three days of sunny, stunning weather. The town itself was quaint and the locals were incredibly welcoming, even to our furry friends. It was the ideal destination for a quick weekend escape."

"I had an amazing time at the beach! It was like a trip down memory lane to my childhood. The pier was especially impressive and had a wide variety of machines and arcade games that kept me entertained for hours. Some of the machines even dated back to the 90s, which was a fun blast from the past. The beach was beautiful and the sand was soft. I highly recommend visiting this..."
