This charming and petite beach is a delightful spot to soak up the sun and enjoy the ocean breeze. However, it can get quite crowded during the busiest times of the year. Additionally, finding a suitable parking spot can be a bit of a challenge. Nonetheless, the serene atmosphere and stunning scenery make it well worth the effort to visit.
