Despite the buggy weather in October, the beach was still a great spot to visit. We even had the chance to see a bay porpoise from the shore, which made the experience even more memorable. Additionally, the beach boasts white sand, adding to its natural beauty. Overall, I highly recommend this beach to anyone looking for a peaceful and scenic getaway.

This beach is absolutely stunning! There's plenty of room to spread out and soak up the sun. The kids will love the playground, and you can rent a shelter if you need some shade. There are even showers for washing off your feet or your furry friend. You'll find lots of shells and tiny crabs to discover, making it a perfect spot to unwind and spend time with your significant other.
