Guide

Good to know

Explore beyond the main rocks
Walking past the main cove reveals private spots and mini coves with greater charm and fewer crowds.
Visit for sheltered, calm conditions
This tiny cove is exceptionally sheltered from wind with warm water, ideal for a peaceful escape.
Arrive early to secure parking
The lot is small and fills quickly, and dust from unpaved surfaces covers parked cars.
Expect seaweed and rocky terrain
Water often contains seaweed and the cove is surrounded by rocks, restricting swimming to brief dips.
Check tide levels before visiting
The beach is very small and becomes partially covered at high tide, limiting usable space.
