This is a relatively large beach with free parking but it has no restrooms/showers or lifeguards. The waves were quite strong the day we went, so I did not get to swim. Looked like a nice beach for surfers. More

Watch out for locals trying to sell overly priced foods. Young crowds. No life guards plus strong currents, so I wouldn't have kids leave the shore. More

The weather was a little cool for the locals (in the 80s), so the beach wasn't crowded at all. We found a palm tree and camped out under it and the beach had plenty of families and was well-patrolled by the police. More
