Tips

If you drive to the harbor and plan to stay overnight, make sure to park in a safe spot by other cars, not in an isolated location.
Pets are not allowed here.
Though it is a safe and family-friendly place, it is crowded. So, if you are looking for a quiet place, this might not be the ideal place.
There are both shallow and deep areas while swimming on the beach.
Be sure to keep your kids in the shallow areas.
