User reviews
"The beach is absolutely beautiful and can be accessed from the car park within a 10-minute walk along a challenging path (we recommend wearing appropriate footwear). There is also a bar nearby for convenience."

"The beach is beautiful, but as others have mentioned, it can be challenging to get to. You'll need sturdy shoes to navigate the rocky path from the main beach."
