This beach is truly a gem. The community is incredibly hospitable and it is by far the least congested beach in the area. The water is delightfully warm and the waves are easy to navigate. Additionally, there is always a lifeguard on duty and a fantastic pool to enjoy. Overall, it is a delightful destination.

The Olympic-sized pool at this beach is absolutely amazing. It's sparkling and inviting, and perfect for a refreshing dip on a hot day. While the shared ablution amenities are generally neat, they can get a bit messy when the campgrounds are full. However, the real highlight of this beach is its crisp white sandy beaches. The scenery is absolutely stunning, with breathtaking views of both the mountains and the seaside. Overall, this beach is a must-visit for anyone looking for a truly unforgettable experience.
