Guide
Good to know
Come for solitude and nature, not swimming
This beach excels at quiet relaxation, bird-watching, and exploring historic military ruins rather than crowded swimming.
Pay parking fee or arrive after 5pm
Daytime parking costs $20, but becomes free after 5pm during high season.
Plan for a substantial walk
The beach requires a noticeable hike from the parking lot or bus stop, sometimes 15 minutes or more.
Water conditions require caution
The ocean is frequently choppy with strong waves and undertows, and there are no lifeguards on duty.
