If you're seeking an all-encompassing panorama, this beach offers one of the most stunning views of mountains, trees, and the ocean. Although we explored a number of beaches, we found this one to be among the top three due to its picturesque setting. While it's worth noting that homeless camps exist in the vicinity, we didn't feel that they posed a major threat to safety. That being said, it's still advisable to park your car in the designated lot for added peace of mind.

This serene beach is a hidden gem that offers a peaceful escape from the hustle and bustle of crowded tourist spots. The beach is not excessively crowded, which allows you to fully immerse yourself in the tranquil surroundings. You'll find convenient shower facilities to rinse off after a refreshing dip in the ocean, and clean bathrooms are located nearby. The breathtaking views are a feast for the eyes, and you might even catch a glimpse of turtles gracefully swimming in the crystal-clear waters.

Additionally, there is almost always a lifeguard on duty during working hours. It's the perfect spot to relax and escape the stress and chaos of crowded beaches. Don't forget to grab a refreshing coconut or pineapple before heading there!
