  • 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 :)
