The car parking facilities were impressive, and we were pleased to find a charming cafe nearby. We arrived at the beach by 10 am, and the car park was already filling up quickly. A brief stroll to the top of the tunnel led us to a staircase that descended to the beach. There were also toilets available for our convenience. The beach was adorned with red rock sand, and the picturesque views were breathtaking. It was also an excellent spot for dog owners to bring their furry friends.

This charming hidden gem of a beach is definitely worth a visit, especially if you don't mind a bit of stair-climbing. The kids will absolutely adore it, and who knows, you might even stumble upon a pirate ship at the end of your journey! The beach itself is quite small, but the red sand and cozy atmosphere more than make up for its size. Additionally, there's a delightful gift shop located right next to the entrance, where you can purchase souvenirs and snacks to your heart's content. Plus, there's a large car park conveniently located nearby. Just be aware that the drive down to the beach is quite steep, so make sure your clutch and brakes are in tip-top shape before embarking on your adventure.

This charming beach spot is just a brief stroll away, accessible through a steep and brief tunnel. The sand here is a pleasant, velvety black texture, adding to the beauty of the location. Not only is it a picturesque spot, but it also offers the convenience of renting surfboards and kayaks for those seeking adventure.

This charming and secluded beach boasts vibrant red sand and can only be accessed through the Smugglers tunnels, adding an element of adventure to your visit. What's more, this beach is a haven for dog owners, as it welcomes furry friends all year round.

The breathtakingly beautiful beach, nestled between towering cliffs and rocky outcroppings, is accessible through a mesmerizingly long and slightly damp tunnel. We were pleasantly surprised to find that the beach was relatively empty during our mid-week visit. Conveniently located toilets are situated near the entrance of the tunnel, and though the descent to the beach requires navigating a few slippery steps, the effort is well worth it. We highly recommend a visit to this stunning black sand beach.
