Went here with my family in February 2026. I would give 1 star rating. Looked nice from the pictures and was recommended so I was hoping this would be a beautiful spot to chill while our cruise was docked. Well we were charged $15 per person even for children (6 and 8) when we arrived so that came to $60 for a few hours at the beach. The cost of food and drinks was expensive so we didn't buy anything so can not comment on whether or not it was good. Stray dogs all over the place and homeless people chilling just off the beach so did not feel safe with valuables there. Scrap metal on the beach and other junk just off in the undergrowth. There was cold fresh water taps to rinse off just to the side of the beach. Would have been ok if some homeless guy wasn't washing his fish he'd just caught at the showers/taps. The toilet house was atrocious with only one of doors to a stall functioning. They were flush toilets but very dirty. The staff were friendly and helpful so that was wonderful. But honestly would never go back and would not recommend.
