This stunning beach is a perfect spot to take a leisurely stroll while basking in the beauty of the sunrise and the rhythmic sound of the waves. Although the beach may not be abundant in shells, we were fortunate enough to stumble upon a handful of lovely ones. In the mornings or on weekdays, the beach is typically not crowded, allowing for a peaceful and serene experience. Additionally, there is ample free parking available for visitors. To top it off, a pier is located nearby, adding to the charm and allure of this idyllic location.

The beach with stunning beauty and calming atmosphere. It's a serene escape from the hustle and bustle of daily life, especially during the week when it's not very crowded. However, it's a different story on weekends when it fills up with people seeking a slice of paradise. Regardless of your age, there are plenty of activities to keep you entertained and make the most of your time at the beach.

The beach is absolutely stunning and impeccably maintained. It's conveniently located within a stone's throw of a variety of eateries, souvenir shops, and even a Walgreens for all your beachy needs. Additionally, there's a charming little amphitheater that, although I didn't catch any performances, seems like the perfect spot for intimate shows.

The beach offers of numerous free parking piers, which is an excellent feature. The picturesque scenery of the beach is a sight to behold, and you can dispose of your trash conveniently with the available trash cans. It's advisable to bring sunscreen along when visiting, and during my visit, the beach wasn't overly crowded. The water is breathtakingly beautiful, making it a truly remarkable experience.

I absolutely love spending time at this beach! The pristine sands are always immaculately clean, which makes for a truly enjoyable experience. Though it can be quite popular, the atmosphere never feels overly crowded or overwhelming. Plus, there are plenty of fantastic restaurants and bars located just across the street, making it easy to grab a bite or a drink whenever you need a break from the sun. The only minor downside is that parking can be a bit of a challenge on busy days, so it's worth considering paying for a spot if you don't want to waste time searching for a free one. Overall, this beach is an absolute gem and I always look forward to returning!
