"Perfect beach to come and enjoy the day with the sun, salt, sea and shops! So many friendly people here. Definitely worth the time to explore this area."

"I think this has become my new favorite beach!! I don't have a dog, but noticed how super dog friendly this area is. The waves were shallow and the beach experience is awesome! Super cute retro nostalgic down town, walkable distance from the beach. Huge fishing ramp - great for wheelchair users."
