User reviews

"I went for a spontaneous drive on a blustery, cold day without any specific destination in mind, and somehow ended up here. It turned out to be quite an interesting spot. Unfortunately, I couldn't explore much due to the intense gusts of wind that made the sand sting, but it was still worth venturing out to capture a few snapshots. I will definitely return in the future."

"This is a fantastic place to bring your children for a fun-filled day at the beach! The parking fee is $7 per day, and there is an amazing playground located right on the beach. Additionally, there are multiple swing areas available where you can relax and enjoy the breathtaking view of the water."
