The water at this beach is also shallow clear and calm with white quartz-sand and tide-pools perfect for sleeping drinking or playing.

The host reached out to us to make sure we had everything we needed, so we knew he was available, but the place was so well appointed and maintained, that we had no need to speak with him. It approached record lows while we were here, so not the beach weekend we were hoping for, but the house was cozy and the company wonderful. Hope to stay here again.
