This beach is absolutely stunning, with its breathtaking views and crystal clear waters. The beach is lined with restaurants on both sides, offering delicious food and refreshing drinks. For those who love adventure, surfing the ocean waves and paddle boarding up the river are both excellent options. The beach is well-protected from strong winds, making it a perfect spot for sunbathing and enjoying the soft sand. If you plan on having dinner, it's best to choose a restaurant beforehand as it will determine your driving route to the beach. Trust me, it's worth it.
