The beach is stunning, and it was incredibly peaceful on a Monday afternoon. The only drawback is that dogs are not permitted on the beach.

The beach was beautiful, but unfortunately, it wasn't a suitable day for swimming. There was a slight unpleasant odor, but overall, it was a pleasant experience. I accidentally got sand in my mouth, but surprisingly, it had a good taste.

This beach is a hidden gem, never too crowded or bustling. It's a fantastic spot for a refreshing swim, although the water is always quite chilly. The scenery is absolutely stunning, and there is ample parking available. Additionally, there are public bathrooms in the vicinity, and park rangers constantly patrol the roads to ensure safety.

It was a fantastic experience filled with joy, serenity, and the simple pleasure of strolling along the shoreline, admiring the exquisite rocks and stumbling upon the occasional elusive Beach Glass, which is quite rare, haha.
