Guide

Good to know

Visit in afternoon for best light
Multiple visitors praised the evening atmosphere and sunsets, though morning arrivals may offer better sand availability before high tide.
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 · 2018–2026
Expect rocky patches and pebbles
The seafloor has rocks in places and the beach has pebbles mixed with sand, so water shoes are advisable.
Arrive early in summer for parking
Parking fills quickly on warm days, though some spaces exist further back on the access road.
Watch for jellyfish in peak season
Jellyfish appear occasionally but tend to disappear as the day progresses according to visitors.
