Beautiful hidden beach accessible only by the coastal hiking path. It seemed as though we were whisked away to a different exotic island, with stunning azure waters and a vast sandy shore. The climate was ideal and ideal for a refreshing dip. As there are no amenities available, a short 10-15 minute stroll to Shelly Beach is necessary for those seeking a shower.

Stunning serene beach with ample sand and lush rainforest backdrop. A 600-meter stroll from Shelley Beach. During the weekend, a handful of naturists were present, with a male to female ratio of approximately 2 to 1. On weekdays, the beach was deserted.
