Visit on weekdays for quiet
The beach remains small and peaceful on weekdays but becomes noticeably busier on weekends.
Reported good with little kids

Steep staircase entry
Expect 117 steps down to the beach from the roadside, making access difficult for those with mobility issues.
Bring your own refreshments
There are no food or drink facilities on the beach itself, so pack supplies before descending.
Avoid windy conditions
Strong inland winds create rough seas and strong currents that make swimming hazardous.
