My son has a deep fascination with marine life, especially tide pools. We decided to visit the beach early in the morning, around 7am, and were thrilled to come across various sea creatures such as sea hairs, a brittle star (which got him extremely excited), and what we believe to be a wavy turbine. It was truly an amazing experience. This beach is definitely a must-visit, especially during low tide.

My wife and I, being visitors, took a stroll along this beach. We noticed many skilled surfers enjoying the waves, which was quite impressive. However, the only downside was the lack of cleanliness. It seems that people don't know how to clean up after themselves, resulting in a lot of litter, especially cans. So, be cautious while walking to avoid stepping on them or any sharp objects. It would be wise to bring a plastic bag along to collect trash and help keep our oceans clean.

The beach can be accessed by a lengthy staircase, which may pose a challenge for some. The view from the beach is incredibly stunning, but it's important to note that dogs are not permitted on the beach at any time. Additionally, parking options are quite limited, with only roadside parking available and no designated parking lot.

I absolutely love strolling around this spot at sunset. It's incredibly breathtaking. If you're up for a bit of adventure and excitement, I highly recommend taking a walk along the cliff. Just exercise caution as it can get quite narrow in certain areas.

This is my absolute favorite surf spot. It is consistently and incredibly beautiful! I adore strolling around the succulents and the cliff. I simply can't get enough of it.
