Explored this stunning shoreline for a night of wild camping and photography. I was given a lift, and the parking fees were quite affordable. The beach was peaceful, with few visitors and well-maintained. I noticed a couple of other wild campers in the area. It appeared that all campers were adhering to Leave No Trace principles, which was wonderful to see. Bonfires are permitted on the beach, and there is an abundance of fallen wood to responsibly gather for your fire. Overall, it was a fantastic location. You can find a video of my experience on my YouTube channel, simply search for Steve Hayes Adventures.

Fantastic sandy white shoreline! Just make sure to pack all your snacks, beverages, and picnic mat since it's quite a distance from the parking lot..but definitely worth the effort!

Easily reached via forested trails, the shoreline actually consists of a sequence of coves, oriented towards the east/northeast. It offers diverse scenery that transforms with the ebb and flow of the tides and the atmospheric conditions.

The beach is absolutely stunning, with numerous pathways that can lead you astray and a leisurely 15-minute stroll to reach the shore (although it may take longer if you, like us, venture all the way to the end 😅). The beauty of the beach truly shines when the sun is shining. However, parking can be a bit challenging as there are limited spaces available.

Ideal for a leisurely stroll that transitions from the woods to the coast. Prepare to be amazed by breathtaking panoramas of the cliffs and the beacon, as well as the enchanting reflections of the sky on the shoreline. Accessible location with ample parking available.
