    Amazing experience!! The waves are MASSIVE if you haven’t heard lol.
    Beware there is a charge for parking ($10) and per person ($5) - this must be to pay for the lifeguards, which is important on this beach.
    Also, there are no showers, but we found some a few minutes away at another beach.

    This beach would absolutely receive 5 stars if it had water to clean off the sand! OMG, you pay $20 per car then another $5 per person and they can’t afford to install water like most other beaches have? Plus, those other beaches don’t charge for parking too!!!

    A true beauty! The waves are usually too harsh, great for surfing, not so much for a typical swim. A walk along the beach is a must, breathtaking views. Bring lunch or breakfast with you, no food options unless it changed recently. A bit of a walk from the parking lot, but worth it!

    It’s a nice beach, less crowded and lot of room to tent/relax. Not a safe one to swim and have fun in water. Just a second you might end up in serious spinal cord or neck injuries. Make sure to read the warning sign in the beach entrance, it lists everything you might see/experience.
    There’s paid parking that includes your entrance fee as well, no shower in the beach so plan accordingly. Sunset is beautiful.

    This is hands down one of my favorite beaches to swim at! I love how blue the water is and it’s always so sunny and beautiful at this beach! This is definitely a perfect beach to tan, swim, and relax at!
