Guide
Good to know
Sheltered cove with warm water
The cove's northern exposure keeps it calm, and visitors report water temperature significantly warmer than other nearby beaches.
Reported good with little kids
Visitors often mention shallow or calm water. This is what reviewers report, not a safety assessment.Mentioned by 2 visitors · 2016–2026
Visit at low tide
At high tide the beach shrinks dramatically or disappears entirely, so plan your visit around tidal schedules.
Go in June or September
Summer months from July onwards bring crowds and noise, while shoulder seasons offer the same warm water with fewer visitors.
Expect seaweed in the water
Swimming conditions are often affected by algae, though this does not deter regular visitors.
