The beach was beautiful and we had a wonderful time swimming. Additionally, it's worth noting that the sand was gray in color.

The glorious stretch of sand and surf. It's a place where one can truly commune with nature and soak up the sun's rays. The beauty of the beach is undeniable, with its crystal clear waters and stunning vistas. But let's be real, it's also a place where you can get sand in places you never thought possible and end up looking like a lobster if you forget the sunscreen. Still, there's something magical about the beach that keeps us coming back for more. Whether it's the sound of the waves crashing against the shore or the feeling of the sand between our toes, there's no denying the allure of this natural wonder. So, if you're looking for a place to unwind and reconnect with nature, the beach is the perfect destination. Just don't forget the sunscreen!

This beach is absolutely stunning with its gray sand. It's also ideal for swimming and children as there are no waves. I highly recommend it for a relaxing day by the water.

The beach is divided into different zones, with only a limited area designated for our furry friends to roam and play. Unfortunately, instead of addressing the misbehavior of a few careless individuals, all dog owners are penalized and prohibited from enjoying the beach as they normally would. It's a shame that the actions of a few can ruin the experience for many responsible pet owners.

The tranquil ocean was truly remarkable during our week-long visit, which we frequented almost daily. We were delighted to find a complimentary parking area and ample room for those willing to take a leisurely stroll down the shoreline.
