This is a decent spot to check out. The beach itself is quite nice, with clear, bluish-green water. The 2km hike from the parking lot is definitely worth it, but it's best to avoid taking your bikes all the way to the end. Unfortunately, the beauty of the area is diminished by garbage and bottles littering the area.
