Amazing Beautiful Sea! Its very windy if you go probably at 6 pm or something. I reckon you wear a jacket there. Amazing place! You should go down to see actual waves. I would reckon to get a life jacket if youre going on top of the rocks.. just to be safe! And its also mandatory cause it would be a $1000 fine. So thank you all for reading my review! Hope it helps!

An absolutely stunning sunset that still stuck in my head. 🌅 I was thinking about how blessed the people who live in this area are, and how they feel to find it so easy to see such a gorgeous sunset like tgis every day.

The bay is very nice. Expect to pay for parking around $17 if thats your thing. If you venture on to the rocks its $1000 fine if caught with out a life jacket.

Beautiful spot for fishing but also notoriously dangerous. Read the signs and don’t be foolish on the rocks. Caught some really nice salmon here! Some good sized herring also for fresh bait or eating
