"It was a delightful surprise to come across this hidden gem! On a quiet Tuesday morning, I parked my car in the southern lot and noticed there were plenty of spaces available. Despite its popularity, the beach was relatively empty, which was a pleasant surprise. Before heading to the beach, I explored the charming gardens near the parking lot. The gardens were a serene oasis..."
