"Our furry friend had a blast at this beach! The vast expanse of the shoreline allowed for ample space to frolic, socialize with other four-legged pals, and engage in exciting games. For those who enjoy beachcombing, the beach is a treasure trove of seashells, sand dollars, and vibrant rocks that adorn the coastline."
Samantha Black
"The sandy shore extends far into the horizon, meeting the vast ocean, and although the wind can be a bit strong, the beach has a pleasant atmosphere. During my visit, I indulged in an egg sandwich, which unfortunately ended up staining my clothes. Additionally, I recall encountering a peculiar sight of a boat parked far from the shoreline during my initial trip."
