The beach is quite secluded and not easily reachable. It is primarily frequented by those who embrace the naturist lifestyle. It is not a suitable destination for families with young children.

The beach is stunningly beautiful, but it's not easily accessible which is why there aren't many people around. During low tide, the rocks form pools and there are plenty of ripples.
