The beach is vast and has smooth sand. It's difficult to envision it becoming overcrowded!

There's something about a quaint seaside town that just draws you in. The mix of classic beach houses and slightly outdated high-rises facing the ocean is quite lovely. Despite the crowds during peak season, the beach is still a great spot for a refreshing swim in between grabbing a bite or drink at one of the local eateries.

I really enjoy coming to this beach because it's always so clean, and there are plenty of restrooms available. The waves are quite impressive, and the sand is a beautiful white color. ☀☀

This beach is incredibly stunning and stretches for around 800 yards. The sand is extremely fine, making it an ideal location for simply relaxing and doing absolutely nothing.

This beach is definitely one of the best, but it gets pretty crowded in August. If you have the option, I suggest going in June or September, or even hitting the beach early in the morning.
