I can't express enough how significant this beach is to me. I've been coming here since I was just three years old, and it holds countless memories for me. It brings back moments of camping with my family and strolling along the shore with my father, who has since passed away. It's where I built sand castles and experienced countless other childhood joys. Unfortunately, I hadn't been able to visit for almost a decade until this year, but to my delight, nothing has changed. The beach still possesses its unique charm, remains relatively peaceful, and the waves and water are absolutely breathtaking. It's simply stunning. 🥰🥰

The beach is absolutely stunning. Just remember to stay on the correct side of the beach, as crossing the water halfway down can result in getting drenched. It's delightful to witness that dogs are permitted after 6pm.
