Once I was there around February. It was damn cold, windy and only one more person, besides me, walking the dog was in sight. It was amazing! :D

Oh the sand all over the place after... grrr :p

People were swimming there now too. There are parts very shallow so for kids it is pretty safe. And now ocean waves. Maybe they don't get bothered much by the algae.
But I remember the previous time the water was clean and fresh. So much nicer. I could also see lots of tiny fish and crabs, which was almost impossible now.
