4 Frustrating

The water may be calm, but the sand is a different story. It's more like a gravel pit than a beach, making it an unpleasant experience to walk on. The rocky entrance into the water is also a hazard, leaving me wishing I had brought water shoes. We did take a stroll along the beach and ventured into some mangroves, which was the only fun part of the trip. Despite hearing rumors of monkeys and sloths in the jungle, we didn't see any. The presence of houses along the road left us feeling uneasy, as though we were trespassing on private property. Who knows, maybe the homeowners were peering out their windows, ready to chase us off the beach.

6 Pleasant

I was absolutely enamored by the balmy waters of the beach. The temperature was perfect and I relished every moment spent in the embrace of the ocean. However, it was disheartening to see the abundance of litter scattered in and around the water. It detracted from the natural beauty of the beach and was a reminder of the importance of preserving our environment.

This beach, oh how I adore it! The water, it was warm, warm, warm - like a cozy bath. If you're in search of a secluded spot on the Pacific side, far from the hustle and bustle of the bay, this little gem is perfect. No fancy restaurants or amenities to distract you from the beauty of the white sandy shore and the tranquil, brackish water. Just you, the waves, and some outhouses for when nature calls. Plus, did I mention the free parking? What more could you want?
