The beach here is truly stunning, with its pristine white sand and intimate size. It's a wonderfully peaceful and tranquil spot, ideal for unwinding and finding some inner calm. There's also ample free parking available nearby, and it's just a short walk away. And let's not forget the breathtaking view of the bay - truly gorgeous!

The beach is beautiful and it's enjoyable to observe the watersports. However, it's important to note that if you have a vehicle that's over 1.9m, you won't be able to park in the car park and will have to find a spot on the road. Fortunately, there are lifeguards present during this time of year (July).
