Stairs going down and coming up is an experience but the beach is nice. The walk from the bottom of the stairs to the river inlet takes 10 - 15 minutes depending on how quick you walk. My son was fishing near the rocky island at low tide and caught a decent size bream..

This is an awesome beach to explore and sight-see. Snorkelling was well worth it, hiking up the hill rewards you with outstanding views and there’s a great park for the kids to hang out afterwards. Rangoon Island provides an amazing backdrop and is a terrific site on its own accord. Not your typical beach but still provided us with hours of fun over a few days.

Gorgeous spot for families and photos. Great walking, views, beaches and rocks to explore. Loved it.

There is not a lot here so there is not a lot to be wrong. The beach is beautiful and really empty. Don’t expect facilities and lifeguards but a short stair hike from a parking lot sees you on the beach staring at the ocean.

Good walk down the hill to get to the beach. When we went, there was a lot of debris and fallen trees due to erosion. Good place to surf. Not a lot of people in winter.
