Perfect destination for a day trip. With plenty of parking, a nearby camping site, and bars, you'll have all the amenities you need.

Plenty of room to spread out, yet still difficult to access, and the perfect conditions for catching some waves - that's what you can expect from this beach. The surf here is top-notch, and the space is ideal for those who want to stretch out and relax.
