There are plenty of parking spots available on the street, with some even offering shade. From there, you can either head straight to the beach section located near the Lost Bar, or follow the coastline to find rocky plateaus to lounge on. The beach slopes gently, making it a popular spot for families with children. If you're feeling adventurous and have sturdy shoes or bathing shoes, you can head towards the plateaus for a secluded and romantic experience, perfect for couples or those with furry companions. The only downside is the absence of waste bins, but otherwise, this beach is truly fantastic.
