Guide
Good to know
Go for sunset views
Evening light transforms the cliff-backed beach into a particularly striking landscape that reviewers consistently highlight.
Visit for solitude and walking
The beach stays relatively quiet and uncrowded, with a long flat sandy stretch ideal for running, walking, and observing surfers.
Prepare for steep terrain
The walk down is roughly 10 minutes on a steep paved road, and the return climb.
Watch for strong currents
At least one reviewer warned of strong currents and cautioned about supervising young children in the water.
Bring bikes with good brakes
Visitors using bikes should take the descent slowly with frequent breaks to avoid overheating brakes on the steep downhill.
