The beach is absolutely stunning and offers ample parking spaces. There is also a lovely beach club nearby, although it was not yet open during my visit.

I had a great time at this beach. In the afternoon, there's a sand bank that gradually disappears as the evening approaches. The water is cold, but that's what I anticipated!

The beach is incredibly beautiful. We visited it twice during our road trip and even stayed overnight in our camper. It's definitely worth a visit.
