The beach offers free parking and is not overly crowded. It consists of a mostly rocky shoreline with a few sandy areas. The majority of the rocks are smooth, and although I didn't come across many shells or sea glass, the water is incredibly clear. I highly recommend this beach and will definitely return in the future!
