User reviews
"The beach is truly remarkable, boasting of silky smooth sand and ample space for all beachgoers. While we visited during mid-October, the water was still quite enjoyable despite the slight increase in wave intensity. Safety was never a concern, and we had a blast frolicking in the refreshing water."
