Amazing & very private beach. The road there is rough but we made it work with our fiat 500. Its a 10 minute walk down, doable on our slides but sneakers would definitely have been better. Beautiful waves & a sandy beach surrounded by beautiful rock formations. We went mid august and we shared the beach with only a handful of people. If you walk past the tall rock theres another beach only accessible when the tide is low. When laying there we had a completely private beach!
