This beach is the perfect spot to unwind and bask in the sun, while also enjoying a leisurely stroll with your furry friends. However, if you're planning a visit on a Sunday afternoon, be mindful that dining options may be limited. During our visit, we only spotted one restaurant that was open, but unfortunately, it was already packed to the brim. Nonetheless, the breathtaking views and serene atmosphere of this beach make it a must-visit destination.
