This beach is absolutely stunning! Although the waters may be a bit rough with plenty of white caps, the water itself is simply perfect. The warmth of the water is something to behold, as it's incredibly warm. The beach may be on the smaller side, but it's definitely lovely. Just be mindful of the sharp sea straw scattered throughout the beach and make sure to wear some shoes to protect your feet.

I suppose if you're into parking in a sandy lot and enjoying the aroma of port-a-potties, this beach might be for you. The traffic is light, but that's probably because nobody wants to come here. The beach is big enough to give you the illusion of space, but not so big that you'll get lost in the sea of mediocrity. The water is shallow and you'll have to walk a country mile just to get waist-deep. But hey, at least you won't have to worry about your kids drowning or being swept away by a wave. And if you're lucky, you might even spot a few crabs scurrying about. Overall, I can't recommend this spot enough...to my worst enemy.

The beach was an unpleasant experience with its unclean and cloudy water, making it unsuitable for swimming.

This charming beach is a true gem. Its small size only adds to its allure, creating an intimate and cozy atmosphere. The crystal-clear water beckons visitors to take a refreshing dip, while the soft sand invites them to lounge and soak up the sun. It's the perfect spot for a peaceful escape from the hustle and bustle of everyday life.
