No close parking, but the oceanfront path & walk to this beach is really nice. Bring snorkel gear, because it’s awesome. Beach isn’t crowded at all & it is just gorgeous!

We came after it had rained earlier in the day and there was barely anyone here. Incredibly beautiful and peaceful. One of the best beaches around.

Beautiful beach but I'm not a fan of the beach without washroom and bathroom. Parking is not fun :)
