10 Exceptional

I recently visited this beach with my children and we had a wonderful time. The golden sand added to the beauty of the beach and made it a perfect spot for relaxing and playing. We spent a few hours enjoying the scenery and the calm waves. Overall, it was a great experience and we would definitely recommend this beach to anyone looking for a peaceful escape.

4 Frustrating

Although the beach has golden sand, it falls short due to the abundance of litter, lack of convenient parking and accessibility, and the presence of numerous dogs. Despite its potential, these drawbacks detract from the overall experience.

I would not recommend this beach as my experience was unpleasant due to dogs chasing me, my wife, and our 6-month-old. Additionally, while the sand is golden, I cannot overlook the safety concerns presented by the presence of unrestrained dogs.
