This serene beach is a delightful escape from the bustling crowds. During our visit in November, the winds and waves added an invigorating touch to the already picturesque scenery.

This beach seems to be a favorite among the masses, but I fail to see the appeal. Sure, the parking lot is spacious, but what good is that when you're surrounded by a hodgepodge of rocks, sand, and shells? The only thing I find myself doing here is scouring the shore for trinkets to decorate my home with. And while the water may be clean, the rock pools hardly make for a relaxing dip. It's no surprise that this beach is mostly shielded from the winds of PE, as it's hardly worth the effort to visit in the first place.
