We visited this fantastic beach multiple times during our trip. It's peaceful and serene, perfect for a relaxing day out. The only drawback is the limited parking on a residential street and the absence of restrooms or showers. Additionally, the beach boasts of golden sand which adds to its charm.

I had an amazing experience at this beach. It was incredibly secluded, with only a handful of people present during our visit between 10am-1pm. We were lucky enough to catch a glimpse of some sea turtles, and the rocks were teeming with colorful fish and stunning corals. I highly recommend bringing swim shoes, as the entrance to the spot is lined with trees that occasionally drop thorns. Overall, this beach is a must-visit for anyone seeking a peaceful and picturesque escape from the crowds.

The beach is absolutely stunning with its sand, but it is surrounded by private luxury homes which gives off a slight feeling of intruding on someone's personal space.
