Paying for the entrance to the beach and then paying again for a gazebo... Man, that´s a rip off, especially at a beach like this. I mean it doesn´t even look fancy or something.
When we lived on the Caribbean coast of Mexico, we used to go to beaches like this one. Everything for free in there, even the umbrellas...
We lived in different places over there and sometimes, we had a beach like this just a few minutes of walking from the apartment. Sweet memories... But yeah, I´m happy for you and your family that you still enjoyed your beach day ;)
