This beach is an absolute gem, with its pristine sands and lush greenery that's home to a variety of adorable critters like birds and crabs. The real showstopper, though, is the river that flows into the sea - it's a sight that's simply breathtaking. While we didn't come across any designated swimming areas, the view alone made the stop worth it. And if you're feeling up for a stroll, the free walking trail that starts at the parking lot is a must-do. It winds its way through the trees and shrubs, hugging the coastline before leading you to the beach. Along the way, you'll come across a few bridges and tree tags that'll teach you a thing or two about the local flora. All in all, a truly excellent experience!
