The allure of the beach lies in the pristine, ivory sand that stretches out beneath the cool, refreshing shade of towering pine trees.

During my visit, I noticed that a single family had claimed the entirety of the vast shoreline. Additionally, there is a designated area for camping that provided a pleasant experience.

The tranquility of the beach was disrupted by the unwelcome presence of tiny insects that managed to find their way through the tent screen. These pests, although smaller than a fruit fly, caused discomfort by crawling and biting on the skin. Their identity remained unknown, but the unpleasant experience left a lasting impression on the family who vowed never to return. This was, without a doubt, the most unpleasant beach experience they had ever encountered. It is highly recommended to inquire about the presence of bugs before planning a trip to this beach.

This so-called cozy beach is nothing more than a construction zone beneath a bridge. Sure, there are some pine trees around, but they hardly make up for the lack of any real amenities. The only thing remotely enjoyable about this place is the sunset, but even that is tainted by the constant noise of construction. If you're looking for a peaceful day at the beach, look elsewhere.
