If you're looking for a peaceful and uncrowded beach, then this is the perfect spot for you. However, be prepared for a slightly challenging drive to get there. We managed to navigate the rough road with our mid-size SUV rental, but there were a few nerve-wracking moments. The potholes are quite sizable, and you can't be certain of their depth. Despite this, the experience was definitely worth it. The beach was pristine and almost deserted. Shade is scarce, so remember to bring sunscreen or an umbrella. Additionally, the waves are quite powerful, making it an ideal spot for surfers.
