The beach is absolutely stunning and comes with an adorable playground! I thoroughly enjoyed strolling along the sandy shore and taking in the breathtaking sunset views.

The beach could use some more amenities, but overall it's decent. I revisited the beach 7 years later and not much has changed. It's still clean and a great spot to relax and soak up the sun. Non-residents are charged $20 on weekdays and $40 on weekends, while residents get in for free. For more updates, check out my YouTube channel, Aboricualifeinusa, and Instagram.

The beach is an excellent spot to relax and spend quality time with loved ones. With the presence of lifeguards during the day, safety is ensured. However, the water quality may not be the best. Nonetheless, the beach is well-kept and tidy. Additionally, entry is free from sunset until 1 A.M, making it a perfect spot for an evening stroll or a late-night hangout.

I absolutely adore the beach! Whenever I get the chance, I take long walks along the shore and soak up the beautiful scenery.

The beach is an excellent location for a leisurely stroll. There are public BBQ grills and picnic tables available for use. However, the water at this particular spot is slightly murky, making it less than ideal for swimming.
