We frequent this beach for various occasions, including birthday parties. The beach itself is pleasant, and parking is convenient. It boasts a lovely playground for children and a fantastic picnic area complete with barbecue grills. During the summer, you can reserve these facilities for your event, but they are first-come, first-served after the season ends. The beach also features a restaurant, which is a nice touch. However, I dislike the fact that the water is quite a distance away, and you have to walk over sharp rocks and crab shells to reach it. Even after enduring cuts and bruises, the water is not very appealing, so I wouldn't recommend it for a typical beach day.

This beach on the North Shore is perfect for kayaking or paddleboarding, and it's also a great spot to enjoy a beachfront lunch in the afternoon.

The service was fantastic, and there were both indoor and outdoor seating options. You could also enjoy a meal with a stunning view of the beach. Witnessing the sunset was truly awe-inspiring.

I really enjoy this beach. Even when it's sweltering hot outside, I can stay comfortable thanks to the refreshing breeze. It's also convenient to grab a drink or some Italian food at La Casa Cafe. This is an excellent spot to bring children, with a designated swim area and playground that's supervised by a lifeguard.

This is a charming and cozy beach with ample seating and walking areas. The presence of picnic tables and a small playground makes it a great spot for families with kids. The stunning views in every direction are a major highlight. Despite being able to accommodate a large number of visitors, the beach doesn't feel too crowded. The sand is a bit rough, so it's recommended to wear flip flops or shoes while walking. There are also dining options available on site, including a formal restaurant and a pizza stand. Overall, I had a great time here.
