If you're interested in discovering dinosaur tracks, head towards the western end of the beach. From the stairs, you'll have a clear view of the tracks, but if you want to delve deeper into history, take a walk along the ancient imprints and become a part of it yourself.

This beach is a pleasant spot with various dining options and ample parking. Additionally, there are a few stores that sell trinkets made of plastic. However, it's important to be cautious of the area between the two-tone red and yellow flags, as some individuals lounging on daybeds may become upset if their view of the ocean is obstructed. A lifeguard is present to ensure safety, but their attention may be better focused on swimmers rather than catering to the demands of a privileged few.

Ah, the beach. A place where you can go to get sand in your swimsuit, sunburn on your nose, and a wallet that's been emptied by overpriced beach gear. This particular beach, however, is a bit of a gem. It's not too crowded, so you won't have to worry about some stranger's elbow in your face while you're trying to catch some rays. And if you're one of those early birds who likes to get the worm, you'll be pleased to know that parking is a breeze before 10am. As for amenities, there's no need to bring your own groceries or toiletries - this beach has got you covered. You can find everything from onions to shampoo at the mini market. So, if you're looking for a place to relax and enjoy the sun without the hassle, this beach might just be your cup of tea.

The beach is a stunning and immaculate stretch of sand, complemented by the convenience of free parking (although it may be limited). Restrooms are located conveniently near the ticket store. This location is superb for kitesurfing enthusiasts. The charming town boasts an array of delightful beachfront rental options.

This seaside spot boasts a classic beach setting with a lengthy expanse of sandy shore and the rhythmic sound of waves crashing onto the beach. The beach is flanked by rocky outcrops on both sides, which only add to the natural beauty of the landscape. For those who love to explore, a leisurely stroll past the rocky formations on the right is a must-do activity. However, it's important to time your walk according to the tides or come equipped with proper attire and swimming skills, as you may need to navigate over and around the rocks and may end up getting wet. Unfortunately, we had to cut our adventure short as the incoming tide was too swift for us to continue.
