The beach is a stunning haven of nature that offers a natural barrier against the wind. Despite the Easter season, the beach was not overcrowded, making it a highly recommended destination for those seeking a peaceful retreat.

Great beach, but parking can be a challenge as it's often full and pricey. I'm not sure if there's a restaurant on site, but the staff is helpful. If you're planning a visit, it might be best to use the park and ride and take a bus to the beach.

In early April, this beach is absolutely stunning and peaceful. Although the water may be too chilly for a dip, it's the perfect spot to relax and enjoy the mesmerizing waves.

The beach is incredibly stunning with breathtaking caves to discover during low tide. As the water level rises, the beach vanishes, leaving behind an opportunity to capture stunning photos of the mighty waves. It's an experience that I won't soon forget.

I have been fortunate enough to visit some stunning beaches in my lifetime, but this one truly stands out. It is an absolute gem, with the added bonus of being relatively uncrowded. The beach is perfect for a range of activities, from snorkeling to body boarding, and the sun-kissed sand is ideal for those looking to work on their tan. What's more, the location is incredibly convenient, with easy access from the street. The views are simply breathtaking, and the water is so clear that you can see right to the bottom. I cannot recommend this beach highly enough.
