"Our favorite beach. Even when it's busy there's lots of beach to spread out on. Love all the little shops and restaurants down town. Many places to get icecream. Outhouses were a bit low on toilet paper when we were last there, recommend bringing some toilet paper just in case and hand sanitizer."
