The beach has a wide boulevard and plenty of space to roam around. The sight of the dragon is captivating, and the beach itself is expansive with golden sand. It's great that there's free parking available. Along the walk, vendors offer good options, and the fisherman on the pier provide a fantastic view of the sea or the shore.
