surprising coastal gem

beach access convenient parking self-serve breakfast seafood restaurant

I was charmed by the direct beach access. It made morning walks so simple. the car parking was convenient, especially since i had quite a bit of luggage. breakfast provided many choices with both self-serve options like toast and cereals in addition to hot cooked items ordered with table service. i took advantage of the seafood restaurant with the sea view. It was a really relaxing evening.

The entrance was difficult to locate. I ended up going through a fire exit initially, which wasn't ideal.
