During the summer, this location is an exquisite place to visit, with bathwater-warm waves and a stunningly gorgeous white sandy beach. One of my friends had an incredible experience swimming with a dolphin, which made our visit even more memorable. It's important to bring your own food, but once you have everything you need, you can relax in a chair and contemplate life while enjoying the serene atmosphere of this beach.

This location serves as an excellent spot for parking, however, the amount of space available is quite restricted. The park itself is rather diminutive, featuring only a handful of picnic tables and a playground. The beach can be accessed by crossing the street.
