Guide
Good to know
Excellent for sunset viewing
The beach faces west, offering spectacular evening light, and the nearby lighthouse creates a striking focal point.
Sheltered spot for calm water days
The cove is protected from wind and waves, making it suitable for visitors seeking peaceful conditions rather than active swimming.
Reported good with little kids
Visitors often mention shallow or calm water. This is what reviewers report, not a safety assessment.Mentioned by 4 visitors · 2016–2026
Check the tide before visiting
At high tide, the beach shrinks dramatically, leaving minimal sand and forcing visitors onto rocks or into crowded conditions.
Arrive early on summer weekends
The small cove fills quickly on hot days, and parking becomes difficult once mid-morning arrives.
Seaweed and water quality vary
Some visitors report seaweed accumulation and murky water with sunscreen residue, particularly on crowded days.
