Guide

Good to know

Visit for walking and sunsets
The beach stretches two kilometers with hard-packed sand ideal for walking, and reviewers consistently praise the views at sunset.
Avoid strong wind days
Westerly and easterly winds make swimming unpleasant, though the beach shelters better on easterly wind days.
Watch for steep drop-offs
Water entry has a sudden steep drop, especially at high tide, and strong currents near the lighthouse pose drowning risks.
Expect few facilities
No showers, toilets, or shops; only scattered beach bars, some of which may be closed outside peak season.
