This beach has a stunning expanse of golden sand, making it perfect for swimming and enjoying the afternoon sun. Additionally, it features a small boat ramp. During the off season, it tends to be less crowded. By the way, don't forget to examine your toes afterwards as you might find tiny specks of gold!
