Just a heads up, the shipwreck is no longer visible as of April 2022. It's been swept away by the wind and waves. It was a bit disappointing since we weren't aware of it beforehand. However, the beach boasts a stunning and unspoiled natural beauty that makes you feel small in comparison.

Unfortunately, the boat was no longer present, but the beach was stunning.

Just a heads up, the shipwreck that used to be there has completely sunk, so don't bother going to see it. On the bright side, it's a great spot for surfing with impressive waves. Just be aware that the road leading to the beach is pretty rough, so make sure your car can handle it. If you're not into surfing, it might not be worth the trip.

The beauty of this place is undeniable! Although the waves are quite strong, it's not the ideal spot for swimming. However, if you're looking for a place to unwind and relax, it's absolutely perfect.

It's a lovely spot, but it's a shame that there's nothing remaining of the "SS American Star."
