Lovely small beach with a peaceful atmosphere, perfect for enjoying a casual picnic with loved ones. Just keep in mind that there are no restroom facilities available, so plan accordingly. Access to the beach requires descending a set of stairs.

Extremely stunning and secluded spot. Limited parking available and the beach is not easily accessible for individuals with mobility challenges, as there are several sets of stairs to descend in order to reach the beach. However, once you make your way down, which is not a significant distance, you will be greeted with a beautiful sandy beach with minimal rocks, perfect for leisurely barefoot strolls. While slightly off the beaten path, the journey is definitely worthwhile.

Wow, the ocean waves at the beach are absolutely stunning. The weather is gorgeous, with warm water in August and pleasant, fresh air. The beach was not overly crowded during our visit, allowing us to fully enjoy the amazing crashing waves. It's a fantastic location for a relaxing cottage getaway.
