    The beach was nice and groomed and there is a playground and snack bar. The only negative is that the splash pad was not working during our visit on 8/6/22.

  • By Mukdam Kena
    The view is nice and you will like it but the water is not clean to swim. Also, if you willing to grill your food then you need to find another beach because grilling is not allow in this area
