The beach appeared stunningly picturesque from afar, but unfortunately, it was inaccessible on August 4th, 2020, with no opportunity to enjoy the tranquil waters.

Although there were no amenities to speak of, the beach was a serene and isolated spot with pristine, transparent waters. Our visit was impromptu, following a kayaking excursion.

The bay is a breathtaking sight to behold, with crystal clear waters and pristine beaches that are not overrun with crowds. It is heartening to witness the regrowth of nature after the devastating fire of last year, and hiking in the area is already a delightful experience.

This is a beautiful spot, but it's important to note that nudity is allowed.

This beach is undoubtedly my top pick in the vicinity. Unlike Cap Taillat beach, it is blessed with a more moderate breeze, making it a perfect spot for relaxation. The bay is incredibly serene and level, allowing you to take a dip in the deep waters with ease.
