The beach is absolutely stunning and boasts some pretty big waves. It's worth noting that the beach is open to the public and there's no fee for entry.

This awe-inspiring location is tucked away, requiring a challenging trek along the ridge trail or a more relaxed stroll on the bluffs trail. I suggest embarking on the hike in a clockwise direction, ascending the 5.5 miles on the ridge trail, then returning via the 3-mile bluffs trail. The breathtaking vistas and opportunities for exploration are simply unparalleled. It's advisable to bring a jacket, as the beach can be chilly, even on a sunny day.

What a splendid seaside retreat! But shh, let's keep it our little secret, shall we? No need to overcrowd this idyllic spot. The sun, sand, and sea are all yours to enjoy in peace. Just don't go blabbering about it to everyone and their grandma, or we might have to share our slice of paradise.
