4 Frustrating

This expansive shoreline stretches on for miles, but it's not the most ideal spot for young children due to its rocky terrain. Parents with little ones under the age of two may want to consider a different destination. However, one perk of this beach is the abundance of parking spots available, making it convenient for visitors.
