The beach offers stunning views and is conveniently located near the rocky outcrops for exploration. However, the swimming area is quite small, which is typical of most beaches in the region. On the bright side, the beach is quite long and even connects with Buffels Bay for those who enjoy long walks. The only drawback is the access, as it requires a bit of a hike down the cliff from the parking lot.
