Avoid this beach as it is quite challenging to reach. However, once you get there, you will find it easily accessible. It is worth noting that there are a lot of dogs and even horses walking around, but unfortunately, there is also animal waste present. Overall, it is a peculiar place to visit.

This beach is a haven for surfer hippies and nature enthusiasts alike, boasting a plethora of scenic walking paths to explore. However, it's important to note that restroom facilities are not readily available and the road leading to the beach may be a bit challenging to navigate. Nevertheless, this beach is a perfect destination for those traveling with caravans and mobile homes, offering a truly unique and unforgettable experience.
