Guide
Good to know
Visit on weekdays or off-season
Weekday visits and September through October offer solitude and relaxation, while summer weekends attract larger crowds.
Prepare for a steep staircase descent
The beach requires navigating 40+ stairs down a cliff, which becomes challenging when carrying coolers, umbrellas, or assisting children.
Expect cold water and strong waves
The ocean is consistently cold with rough conditions and notable undertow, making it better for experienced swimmers and surfers.
Bring insect repellent for dusk visits
Aggressive flies and bugs appear throughout the day and become particularly bothersome at sunset.
