The beach is nicely protected from the wind, and it's a spot where I often take my dog for leisurely strolls. During low tide, it's also a wonderful spot to hunt for sea glass, especially for college students.

This beach was amazing. I used to go there with my friends and we would always jump off the docks. I really miss it.

The beach is pretty nice, and having a parking lot is a plus. I often bring my inflatable boat there. However, the only downside is that it can be a bit dirty and rocky in certain areas.

Fisherman's Beach is a charming spot where I like to unwind after a hectic day. Being surrounded by the vast sea and the serene pale sand and boulders helps me to reconnect with nature and find my inner peace. The sound of the waves is therapeutic and grounds me in the moment.
