Very beautiful corner park. It has beautiful views. Also has tables and benches and lots of parking space. This park is very clean and it has a beautiful sandy beach. You will not be disappointed visiting this park. It's perfect for picnic dates or even family/friends get together. Also the drive and scenery to this park is amazing. Don't forget that there is also a nearby ice cream place so grab some and drive to park to enjoy the views and catch some sun...

Perfect place to view the sea! Relaxing area. I’ve rented out the pavilion before and it was the best party ever! Had a great time! Definitely worth a visit.
