This place is very beautiful. Very relaxing and you sure so enjoy nature's beauty. It was very clean. Only bad thing when we visited was no swimming was allowed but never the less we still sat on the beach and soaked out feet!

I went here in late September, the off season. It was great. Such a peaceful place where I basically had the beach to myself. Swimming was not allowed as it was off season but the bathrooms were still open.
