This beach is absolutely amazing! There's so much to do here, including snorkeling which is a must-try activity. It's perfect for families and the best part is that it's open to the public for free.

I visited a beach that offers free public entry. The beach was a great experience for me, and I enjoyed the scenery and the clear blue waters. I went there with my family when I was 10 years old, back in 1966, and it still holds a special place in my heart.

We visited a beach as part of our Kicker Rock tour. The beach has free public entry, which is a great bonus. It was a lovely spot to relax and soak up some sun. The water was clear and refreshing, and we were able to swim and snorkel. Overall, it was a wonderful beach experience.
