User reviews
"The children really enjoyed this beach. It has a lovely park, friendly locals, and offers food options if you're feeling hungry. The kids especially loved the shaved ice. It's a fantastic place to unwind and take in the beautiful waves. Additionally, the beach is well-maintained and has a warm and inviting atmosphere."
Sarah Delacroix
"I really enjoy the peaceful atmosphere of this beach. The presence of cliffs and the limited number of entry points give it a somewhat secluded feel, despite its proximity to the 101. The bathrooms are well-maintained, there are showers conveniently located near the sand, and there are also enjoyable tide pools for the kids. It's definitely a place that you shouldn't overlook."
