"Avoid the overwhelming crowds at White Sands/Magic Sands and opt for this hidden gem instead. This beach offers peaceful seclusion, easy access to dining and restroom facilities, and a delightful balance of sunny and shaded areas. While exploring the sandy shore, I stumbled upon some forgotten toys and decided to create a miniature volcano for them."

"The beach is an ideal spot to capture the perfect sunset shot. The parking experience was intriguing, but the numerous photo opportunities made it all worthwhile. The sunset drew a large crowd, yet the atmosphere remained warm and welcoming with everyone displaying cordiality and consideration towards one another."
