This spot is a great to chill out and take in some sun. It's a great place to catch some waves, take a stroll, or just hang out in one of the many cafes. It's a great place to relax and have some fun.

This location has a stunning backdrop of cliffs and lush rolling hills. It's equipped with free washrooms, showers and foot taps for convenience. The promenade is a sight to behold.

The beach isn't the best for families. The tides are large and the waves are strong, making it difficult for less experienced surfers. It's not the ideal spot to relax and enjoy the ocean.

This place is my absolute favorite! It's the ideal spot for any surfer, no matter their skill level. The sand is so soft and inviting, and the beach is always kept spotless. It can get a bit crowded on the weekends, but that's to be expected. And the food options are great, too!
