6 Pleasant

This beach is passable, although not quite up to par. While it's relatively clean and spacious, the areas designated for swimming are quite restricted. If you do decide to take a dip, exercise caution and keep an eye out for warning signs. Overall, it's a pleasant enough spot for a leisurely walk or to unwind, but don't expect to be blown away.

This beach is truly enchanting and the city surrounding it is simply lovely. As you stroll along the shore, you'll come across a grand yachts club showcasing an array of stunning boats. Two lighthouses, one modern and one old, adorn the coastline, adding to the picturesque scenery. The beach is open to the public, allowing you to bring your own umbrella or rent one for your convenience. You'll also find an abundance of restaurants serving up delicious seafood dishes, perfect for satisfying your appetite after a day of soaking up the sun.

4 Frustrating

The epitome of overrated vacation destinations. But if you must subject yourself to the sand and sun, this one at least has the decency to be clean. Don't get too excited though, because there's not much else going on. Sure, there's a light house and marina, but unless you're a seagull or a fisherman, those won't be of much interest. And don't even get me started on the "lots to do" claim. Unless you consider sunburn and sand in your bathing suit a fun activity, you'll be sorely disappointed. But hey, at least there's underground parking.

While on a brief trip to the city, we stumbled upon a stunning beach that left a lasting impression. The beach was impeccably clean and boasted a picturesque walking distance, with nearby parks adding to the beauty of the area. It was conveniently located just 10 to 15 minutes away from the main center, making it easily accessible for visitors. Although we visited during the rainy and windy month of October, we could still imagine the beach coming to life with more activities during the summer season. Overall, we were thoroughly impressed with the beach and would highly recommend it to anyone visiting the area.
