Read moreGreat beach if you do not want to go too far out of the city. This is a long stretch of a beach with a long (not wide) narrow parking area which stretches along the road as far as the beach does. Parking is very limited & is paid on weekends. Try reaching early on weekends or visit on weekdays.
The best part is the water is shallow at the shore which allows adults as well as kids to go quite a bit into the water and even then it goes till waist height. Because of shallow water, it is also warm and gets warmer as the day progresses.
The cleanliness of the beach & water depends on where you settle down. When facing the water, the right side of the beach is the most clean with no rocks in water and clean sand.
Right at the centre of the beach are changerooms, shower & washrooms. There are also porta potties along with hand washing stations. There is also a small playground here & a boat/float rental shack.
Overall, a good beach in the city. 5 stars, if it was not for the...

Otherwise, it's an amazing to place to be during summer. It has everything needed for a full day of fun - Change rooms, restrooms, picnic area, playground and of course, BEACH!
