Definitely a unique beach along The North Shore! The large beach is full of pink rocks, the smaller beach is more typical of the The North Shore, & there's a cool outcrop in the middle that you can hike on. (Be advised though, rock picking is prohibited here.)

A cool beach to visit. The water was calm so we did not hear the singing but the view was gorgeous!

I was pretty lucky and got to see it on a foggy morning, there was not a single other soul there that morning. It was an amazing time!
