"Great beach out of town. Only locals or those that live like locals. Maybe 15 people on the beach. Have to drive down a dirt road by following signs. Most of the beach is private entrance from houses. There is one area you follow the dirt road past employee buses for the hotels. Minimal parking but nice. Very clean beach with lifeguard of a sort. A favorite for us."
