This beach is undoubtedly one of the most stunning in the entire country. Not only are there plenty of restaurants to choose from for a quick bite or a leisurely meal, but it's also just a short drive from the city, making it an ideal spot for a relaxing evening. Additionally, it's a romantic location for couples to stroll along the shoreline hand in hand. As an added bonus, I wanted to share some vintage photos of the area from 2011.
