This beach is a must-visit if you're in the area. It's not as crowded as other beaches, so you can enjoy the serenity, spot endangered shore birds, and find great fishing spots. The beach is quite long, so be prepared to do some walking to discover hidden gems.

The beach is rugged and not monitored, making it perfect for a leisurely stroll. It is filled with seashells and intriguing items that have washed ashore.

This place is absolutely stunning. There is a small rock shelf at the southern end of the beach with a rock pool that is perfect for kids to play in. You can also find little fish and other sea creatures in the pool.
