Guide
Good to know
Consider boat or kayak access
Multiple reviews mention boat and kayak access, suggesting these are viable alternatives to walking access.
Excellent for snorkeling
Crystal clear water and visible rocks at the bottom make this ideal for snorkeling and swimming.
Wear comfortable walking shoes
Access requires walking down to the cove, and the surrounding area offers coastal walking trails.
Visit in morning or early afternoon
Reviewers report the cove becomes excessively crowded by mid-September and fill with boat traffic later in the day.
Bring water and snacks
There are no toilets or beach bars on site, so plan accordingly for a full day visit.
