This beach is truly a hidden gem! It offers a peaceful atmosphere where you can observe pelicans gracefully diving for fish. We had some spare time of about an hour, and this place made it effortless to spend it. The weather couldn't have been more ideal, with the sun shining and a gentle breeze maintaining a perfect temperature. However, parking was limited and the trail was a tad narrow.

The beach is quite spacious and doesn't seem to be crowded at all. It can be a bit challenging to reach the beach, but there is a pathway on the northern side where you can park your car.

This is a great spot if you're looking for some solitude. It's also perfect for catching a breathtaking sunset on a lovely evening.

The beach was fantastic! There was convenient free parking, and the kids absolutely enjoyed it. There were plenty of wooden materials to build and play with, and the waves were just the right size for me to feel comfortable with the children.
