There are two options to reach this stunning beach: either by taking a leisurely hike or by hopping on a shuttle. The shuttle service charges $25 for a round trip or $15 for a one-way ride back to the parking lot. However, if you're up for a bit of adventure, the 3-mile hike is a great option. The trail offers various paths and breathtaking views that make the journey to the beach an exciting experience in itself. Once you arrive, you'll be greeted by a beautiful beach, although it may be smaller than you anticipated. If you plan on taking a dip in the ocean, it's important to exercise caution. The right side of the beach has higher and rougher waves, while the left side is more tranquil but still offers a thrilling experience. Additionally, you can climb up to the top of the cliffs for a stunning panoramic view or a bird's eye view of the picturesque scenery below.

The seaside was absolutely splendid! We embarked on a 2.8-mile trek with a little one on our shoulders and completed it in just 1.5 hours, which was quite a feat. Although it's not something we'd do again in the near future, it was a once-in-a-lifetime experience. Alternatively, there are some private individuals who offer round-trip transportation to the beach for $20 per person, but there's a one-hour time limit once you arrive. We opted to hike to the beach and return via a truck ride for $15 per person, which allowed us to spend as much time as we desired on the beach.

The beach was quite remote and isolated, which made it beautiful in its own way. Unfortunately, during our visit, the sky was overcast and it was quite chilly. The water, however, was still beautiful and refreshing. We didn't hike to the beach ourselves, but we did speak to a local who had no qualms about leading us there. The ride to the beach was treacherous, and only those with extensive off-road driving experience should attempt it. Once we arrived, we were underwhelmed. The hike down to the beach was easy enough, but the path was so well-worn that it felt like we were just following the crowd. All in all, it was a disappointing experience.

The hike to this beach is an adventure in itself, with breathtaking views and a stunning shoreline that will leave you in awe. Although the beach may be a bit rough and not ideal for swimming, the rock formations are truly one-of-a-kind and will make your visit unforgettable. For those who prefer a more comfortable ride, an off-road truck shuttle service is available to take you back to the parking lot. We opted for this option and it was an absolute blast! At only $15 per person, it's definitely worth it for the added excitement and convenience. Overall, this beach is a must-see for anyone looking for a unique and unforgettable experience. The natural beauty and adventure make it a true gem.

Prepare yourself for an adventure to remember, but don't forget to bring your water, sunscreen, and proper hiking shoes if you plan on trekking the 2.8-mile path from the parking lot to the beach. Unless you want to be surrounded by a sea of people, it's best to arrive early in the morning. We were able to enjoy the beach all to ourselves by starting at 8am and making the arduous journey. Don't be fooled by the abundance of trails, they all lead to the same destination - just keep the ocean to your right. To make your way down to the beach, head to the rear of the picnic table for an easy descent. For some picturesque views, take a stroll along the trails that hug the edges of the beach.
