Guide
Good to know
Excellent for sunset viewing and photos
The lava rock formations and golden sand create striking backdrops for photography, particularly at sunset or sunrise.
Arrive before 9am for solitude
Afternoon crowds increase significantly, with multiple wedding photo shoots often occurring simultaneously.
Do not attempt to swim or snorkel
Waves are dangerous and rough, rocks are sharp, and at least one visitor reported needing rescue from strong currents.
Parking is very limited on street only
Visitors park along the roadside with few spaces available; arrive early or consider returning at off-peak times.
