Absolutely stunning! The water is crystal clear, and there are perfect waves for surfing on one end, while the other end has warm, tranquil waters. Plus, it's well-equipped with showers, bathrooms, and parking.

This location is an absolute paradise - it's spotlessly clean and tranquil. The water is icy, as is typical for the Atlantic in this area, but the sand is brilliantly white and fine.
