This beach is a haven for nature lovers. With fewer crowds, you can witness the beauty of rare animals both on land and in the water. However, it's important to note that there is no parking available.

The beach was a delightful sight to behold - it was well-maintained, welcoming, and had a serene atmosphere. The presence of a magnificent tree added to the charm of the place, making it even more picturesque.

The beach is an amazing spot that I frequent multiple times a week as I keep my boat here. It's a shame that the limited parking space prevents more people from visiting this gem, especially during pleasant weather. The location undoubtedly deserves a perfect rating, but some visitors who leave behind trash and allow their dogs to roam freely only deserve a one-star rating. Despite this, the overall experience is fantastic, and the sunsets are breathtaking.
