The beach is absolutely lovely and what's more, you can easily access it through the cafeteria. The atmosphere is serene and the scenery is breathtaking. The sand is soft and warm, perfect for sunbathing or building sandcastles. The sound of the waves crashing against the shore is soothing and calming. It's a great place to relax, unwind, and soak up some sun.
