Verified traveler

Went into the water about thigh deep about 10 minutes and started getting stung by something (probably jellyfish). Looked around the beach and everyone was getting stung, people were all covered in red spots. It was pretty frightening. Be careful.

3/5 - Okay

Wear water shoes. While the beach seemed clean and had available parking and restrooms, my friend cut her foot in the water. Lifeguard was not on duty, and tried to get help from the beach rental company, and they blew us off.

1/5 - Terrible

After five minutes my kid got stung by a jellyfish and we had to run out of there to treat him and it was not a clean beach.
