This spot is a great for a day out - it has a large pine forest area for a picnic and to find some shade, a sandy area, and a scenic path running along the beach. Plus, it's easily accessible! To top it off, there's a small bar-restaurant with a terrace that overlooks the beach - highly recommended!
