This beach is a great spot for safe swimming, and it even has parking available. Additionally, the sand is a beautiful golden color.

6 Pleasant

The beach is quite small, but it's lovely nonetheless. You'll find mostly locals taking a break from shopping at La Plage. The sand is golden and the beach is surrounded by trees, providing ample shade.
