Although parking can be a bit of a hassle, once you've found a spot and gotten comfortable, the beach is fantastic. Plus, the sand is a beautiful golden color.

This beach offers a breathtaking view of the sunset, making it an ideal spot for nature enthusiasts. However, it's important to be cautious of sea urchins. The beach is adorned with a plethora of small shells, but larger ones are harder to come by. Despite this, the beach is serene and stunning. While there is ample parking available, it's a bit of a trek to reach the actual beach, so it's advisable to bring a wagon if you have a lot of gear.

On Christmas Day, we visited the beach and found that the parking lot was almost full. Fortunately, we were able to secure a spot at the west end of the lot as another car was just departing. Additionally, the beach boasts golden sand, making it a picturesque destination for a day in the sun.
