The beach is truly a sight to behold! However, we were led astray by AllTrails as the trail they suggested was non-existent. Instead, we found ourselves strolling along the shoreline. If you plan on visiting during the autumn season, it's best to come prepared with sturdy waterproof boots. One obstacle we encountered was a small river that impeded our progress towards the cliffs at the end of the beach. Unfortunately, there was no way to cross it, and we had to retreat.

The parking area may be limited, but the serene forest trek leading to the beach is a sight to behold. While the final stretch of the trail can be challenging, the majority of the path is fairly level. The location is somewhat remote, which could explain the lack of crowds. Personally, I adore secluded beaches like this one.

This stunning beach boasts soft, powdery sand that is a delight to walk on. While it may not be ideal for swimming or wading due to the strong currents and sudden drop-offs, it is perfect for a peaceful and scenic stroll. It's important to exercise caution when venturing into the water, but the breathtaking views and serene atmosphere make this beach a must-visit destination.

Sandy beach and can be reached by a 2.15-mile trail through the forest. The natural surroundings offer a serene atmosphere and a perfect escape from the hustle and bustle of city life.

On the 19th of September, we were blessed with a bright and sunny day that made our beach trip even more delightful. The trail leading to the beach was serene and not crowded, making it an ideal spot for a peaceful stroll. The trail was relatively easy, except for the final part that was a bit steep, but manageable. As we reached the beach, we were mesmerized by its sheer beauty. The blackish sand and rock formations on either side of the beach added to its charm. Although there was a lot of wood on the beach, it only added to its natural beauty. Overall, it was a wonderful experience and a must-visit for beach lovers.
