This public beach is pretty good, but the water tends to be quite dirty. Additionally, it's worth noting that the sand is a fine gray color.

This public beach is a delightful spot to soak up the sun and take a refreshing dip in the water, all without any cost. It's a wonderful location to bask in the warmth of the sun and cool off in the waves.
