This stunning beach boasts a vast expanse of pristine, powdery sand that stretches as far as the eye can see. It's the perfect place to spend quality time with your loved ones, soaking up the sun and taking in the breathtaking views. However, do keep in mind that there is a parking fee to access this natural wonder. Additionally, it's worth noting that there are no shower facilities available for post-ocean clean up, which can be a bit of a drawback. Nonetheless, the beauty and tranquility of this beach make it well worth a visit.

This was my inaugural visit to the Atlantic Ocean, and I must say, it is a truly stunning location. However, I wasn't particularly fond of the pay-to-park system, but I understand that's just how things are.

There were a large number of people at the beach, making it quite touristy. It was necessary to drive slowly as pedestrians tended to walk out into the street without caution. It was challenging to take photos without people in the background. Upon reaching the steps, the beach was completely crowded with people.
