The beach stretches on the sunny coast and the easiest way to get to the beach is by car or bike.

Nahoon Corner can be found to the right of Nahoon main beach, boasting its own designated parking area. It offers a breathtaking sight with its stunning rock formations that are revealed during low tide. The beach is perfect for surfing enthusiasts, and there are also magnificent sand dunes that can be climbed. For those who enjoy scenic hikes, a trail along the cliff leads to Mermaids Pool, and if you continue further, you'll reach Nahoon Reef.

It's a great beach to relax and mentally prepare for the upcoming week. It can get quite hot when the sun is directly shining, but after all, that's what beaches are for, right? Getting a tan.
