We parked our car in the B lot and then walked over to the Bay side of the beach. The sand was beautiful and golden in color, which made the scenery even more breathtaking.

This lovely beach is a true gem! I relish coming here to either read a good book or simply bask in the soothing sounds of the ocean waves. It's a great spot to unwind and recharge. Lately, I've been lucky enough to spot several pods of delightful dolphins frolicking in the waters. It's truly a magical experience!
