My husband and I have great memories at this beach. The abundance of smooth rocks make for infinite play options, but there is still plenty of sand to enjoy.

Really enjoyed my time here . The weather was perfect. We had a great time walking the shore, making sandcastles and spent the day with our family here. I will definitely be coming back here.

My Two Cents

I loved the bike riding along the beach. This place was not crowded and had lots of surfers. Lots of rocks in this section, but if you enjoy camping, walking and riding, this is a great place for that.

A great place to take in the coast. Clean, sandy beaches and free parking make this a good spot to sunbathe, take a stroll, or swim in the sea (if it's warm enough 😀). There are public restrooms available. The kiddie playground seems to be closed at present.
