Beach or lagoon? Waves or calm water? Choose your spot. The beach and lagoon are 300m away from the car park and toilet. The way is easy, but it's sand at the end. There are a few shady spots on the lagoon side. Depending on the tide, the lagoon is quite shallow: you can walk far from the beach. It's a great place for SUP and kids. You can spot fish and oysters. The ocean, though, is rocky.

What a find, it many people come here but this beach was lovely and hardly anyone comes here. Make sure you get yourself here it is worth the 1.5 km tough roads. Don’t worry I did it fine with my little Mazda 3
