This beach is an absolute gem! Don't let the playful opening fool you - I couldn't recommend it more highly. The sand is so incredibly fine, it feels like walking on clouds. My feet were in heaven!

The powdery sand of this beach is truly delightful. I am enamored with this coastal haven. The beach walks here are breathtaking, and I relish taking a dip in the ocean's balmy waters. Pooches are welcome to join in on the fun, but owners must be sure to tidy up after them. We must also be mindful of the protected sand dunes and treat them with reverence.

I am awarding a single star solely for the stunning sea view that the beach offers. However, the restroom amenities are appalling, with damp walls and moist toilet paper. The facilities are in dire need of modernization, and the parking area needs to be expanded to accommodate more vehicles. Furthermore, during the busiest hours, the resort didn't respond to any phone calls, which was quite disappointing.
