"I had the pleasure of visiting this beach for the first time and the journey to get there was quite fascinating. The route was adorned with numerous old barns and houses that added to the charm of the place. The beach itself was a sight to behold with its stunning beauty. For those who have a fondness for stones, this beach will definitely be a treat for you."
Lena Rae Thompson.
"The lupines, brush, river, and beach offer a delightful setting for a leisurely stroll. The small dunes add to the charm of the area. The river also provides a wonderful opportunity for fishing. The ocean and river sides are equally fantastic and offer great spots to relax and take in the beauty of the surroundings."
