Just beautiful

This beach makes for a perfect spot for a family outing, with ample space for a picnic. Although the water had a sandy texture, my son still managed to have a great time. Personally, I found the refreshing breeze and overall atmosphere to be quite delightful, and I am eager to return for more moments of tranquility. It is recommended to arrive early, before 10:00am, to ensure a clean and calm swimming experience before the winds pick up.

The beach was quite difficult to access by car, as there were no clear signs indicating the way and Google maps did not show any road closures. Unfortunately, we ended up wasting three hours driving over 20 miles only to find ourselves standing in front of a large closed door with a sign that read shooting club area. Despite the fact that the sunset was nearby, we had no choice but to turn back.
