The beach is absolutely stunning, although the road leading up to it is quite rough and requires a 4 wheel drive. However, the beach and its wildlife make the journey worth it - we even spotted two manatees, schools of flying fish, and diving pelicans! The golden sand is immaculate and there is hardly any litter in sight. Plus, you can walk quite far into the water.
