Guide
Good to know
Good for dogs and walking
The small boardwalk and shoreline provide a peaceful spot for dog walks and leisurely strolls.
Reported good with little kids
Visitors often mention shallow or calm water. This is what reviewers report, not a safety assessment.Mentioned by 3 visitors · 2017–2025
Wear shoes for pebbled beach
The beach is covered in pebbles rather than smooth sand, making barefoot walking uncomfortable.
Visit for sunset views, not swimming
The small swimming area is shallow with cold water, but the sunset scenery is consistently praised.
Arrive early for parking
Parking is severely limited and reviewers note the lot fills quickly.
