The beach is stunning and isolated, but the road leading to it is challenging and requires a 4×4 truck or SUV. It's important to remember to pack out your trash when visiting, as it detracts from the natural beauty of the area. Thank you for helping keep the beach clean and enjoyable for all.

It's recommended to bring a 4WD SUV to this beach as a sedan is likely to get stuck.
