Great destination! Enjoyed the open trail and peaceful outdoor atmosphere.

Unfortunately, the beach and the adjacent strip of woods are heavily littered. Plastic waste is everywhere, and there seems to be no initiative or effort to remedy this situation. Furthermore, traces of the oil spill are still visible on the beach, and one often steps in invisible oil slicks that heavily soil feet and shoes. I sincerely hope that someone will soon take action and restore the beach.

The beach vibe is great for taking cool photos with airplanes, but you should double-check the flight path to get the best shots.
