We visited this stunning beach at the end of April and were amazed by the gorgeous sand, huge waves, warm water, and breathtaking mountain views. It felt like we were visiting a place straight out of a PC screensaver photo. We were so glad we stopped by!

This beach was really something! It would have been perfect if there had been somewhere to change clothes, so make sure you plan ahead. However, there was a place to rinse off. Additionally, there were some nice shady spots to relax in and the ocean floor was nice and even.
