This beach in El Portillo is excellent - it's clean, calm, and easily accessible from the road. If you're not paying attention, you might miss it. You can even drive your car onto the sand and park there. The beach has a small, shallow river that flows into it, which provides a refreshing break from the sun. There aren't any vendors or accommodations nearby, but the calm waters are perfect for wading in and going for a swim. I highly recommend checking it out!

The beach has a beautiful expanse of golden, fine sand. As for the review, it would be best to start fresh and say something like, The beach was absolutely stunning with its soft, golden sand that stretched for miles. My family and I couldn't resist taking a stroll along the shore and taking in the breathtaking scenery.
