Guide
Good to know
Go for seclusion and natural beauty
Reviewers consistently praise the beach as quiet, uncrowded, and beautifully secluded despite the difficult access.
High-clearance vehicle strongly recommended
The mile-long access road has deep sand and requires 4WD or high-clearance vehicles to avoid getting stuck.
Bring insect protection
Mosquitoes and horse flies are reported consistently, especially in the parking area and along the wooded approach trail.
Expect a substantial hike to reach sand
Plan for a mile-long walk through woods followed by 100-150 yard walk to the actual beach.
