As I was strolling along the coast, I stumbled upon a breathtakingly beautiful beach. The unique geology of the beach left me in awe and wonder. It was truly an unforgettable experience.

The beach is an ideal spot for beachcombing enthusiasts who enjoy discovering driftwood and pebbles. Additionally, the picturesque scenery makes it an excellent location for capturing stunning photographs. However, it is important to note that individuals who have difficulty walking or have ankle/leg issues may struggle with the uneven and rocky terrain. Additionally, the stairway leading down to the beach may not be the most stable, so caution is advised.
