This beach is relatively quiet and serene, and it's only a short walk away from the harbor. Plus, there's a porta-potty available!

This beach is great - you can walk to Avalon in just a quarter of a mile. We had breakfast here and had a really good time.

We had a great time lounging in the chairs, ordering food and drinks. The drinks were a bit weak, but the food was delicious and the staff were incredibly friendly!
