The sunset at this beach is excellent, with impressive rock formations that lead into a river and connect to the ocean.

This secluded beach is completely deserted, with stunning views of the beach and sand dune. Climbing to the top of the dune may be challenging, but the experience and views are definitely worth it.

The parking lot is about 1 Km away, making for a pleasant walk along the river and dunes. The beach is great for surfing due to the plentiful swell, and offers excellent views. If visiting in the summer, be sure to bring insect repellent for the horse flies in the area.
