A great place to visit, with a small sandy shoreline and rocky outcrops on either side. The water is crystal clear, and it even has basic amenities like restrooms and concessions. I highly recommend it!

It's always a pleasure to return to this beach; it's clean and the lifeguards are attentive.

This spot may be small, but it's not without its faults. During the off season, it's a great place for kids and pets, but it's not the ideal spot for a relaxing day. The sand is often littered with debris, and the water can be quite choppy. All in all, it's an okay spot, but not one that you'd want to visit more than once.
