We absolutely adored this beach! It was incredibly stunning and far more convenient to reach compared to other beaches nearby. The parking lot is conveniently situated right in front of the beach. Although there is some shade available, we decided to grab a bite at the restaurant and were fortunate enough to be able to use their umbrellas as well. The waves were barely noticeable, allowing us to fully appreciate the breathtaking scenery. It was an ideal spot for families with children!
