Long Beach. The only reason I gave it 4 stars 🌟 from this part of the beach was that there was one bar. It had lots of people (maybe a private function) and I wasn't overly enthused about the menu so I walked back to my hotel. It's not the beach's fault. It would be a great beach just for it's purpose ⛱️

Even though I went early in the morning, there were quite a few people, and many were riding hydrofoil boards.
