Very good variety of food

Best public beach yet! The guys selling costumes and the rubber tube floaties were very kind and helpful. Their rates are also very affordable... Our clothes, shoes etc were all safe and we had a full day of fun and left late evening. We even had a boat ride which is charged according to no. Of people and distance covered. Not all food is fresh so I would recommend carrying your own bitings and only buy drinks. The fries from the food vendors were OK. If you go with kids, have some cash aside for buying the various things being hawked like balloons, toys, bubbles, etc. Weekdays are less busy than weekends. Highly recommend
