This beach is quite average and nothing special. However, it has the benefit of being easily accessible, making it a convenient option for those looking for a quick beach getaway.

Stony beach is a great place to unwind, and it's not too busy. On the day we visited, the ocean was quite rough and the waves were crashing onto the shore. We got drenched by a huge wave that came out of nowhere. There were a few Portuguese man o' war jellyfish on the beach, so be mindful if you have kids with you.

This beach is definitely worth a visit! There are some fascinating fossil rocks on display, and around the corner there is a natural swimming pool. Plus, the beach itself is quite interesting, with its gray fine pebbles.

Take a short stroll around the corner and explore the numerous pools. The black sand is ideal for wild camping, however, you won't find any water.
