User reviews
"This beach is a fantastic choice for those who are new to paddle boarding or kayaking, especially children. However, the only downside is the challenge of finding parking. The water is quite shallow and the waves are minimal, making it a serene and peaceful spot for a day at the beach."
Georgina Carrasco
"The beach area is a charming spot that is perfect for indulging in some surfing or boarding activities. Although the size of the beach can cause it to become a bit crowded, there are ample spots to find some shade or set up chairs. In addition, there is a protected area located to the side of the beach which is definitely worth exploring."
