It is stunning, but it doesn't appear to be a suitable spot for swimming. Instead, it seems perfect for leisurely strolls or simply admiring the horizon and sunset.

Tranquil location with a stunning vista along Victoria road. Despite the abundance of rocks on the beach, it offers a pleasant setting for a leisurely stroll and to breathe in the crisp air. While lacking amenities, that's not the primary reason for visiting this spot. Access to the beach is available through various routes, with the 58 minibus from Kennedy Town being one option. Definitely worth exploring if you seek a peaceful spot to soak in the surroundings.
