Good to know

Visit in shoulder season or winter
September, February and out-of-season months offer the same scenery and swimming with far fewer visitors.
Some shade is available
Visitors mention trees, cliffs or umbrellas to get out of the sun.Mentioned by 4 visitors · 2021–2026
Arrive before 10am in summer
The beach fills to capacity by late morning on weekends and hot days, especially in July and August.
Bring water shoes for pebbles
The beach is stone rather than sand, and reviewers recommend footwear to walk comfortably on the pebbles.
Sun disappears behind cliff by 4:30pm
The high surrounding cliffs block direct sunlight in late afternoon, so plan beach time accordingly or visit for morning light.
