User reviews
"This beach is a fantastic spot to check out. There are stairs leading down to the shore. If you have trouble with your legs or knees, a few of the steps might be challenging. But if you can handle the stairs, it's definitely worth it, as the cove is incredibly serene. I would definitely come back again."

"The parking area offers stunning views, with loud waves crashing nearby. A short walk down some steps leads to the water, but it's definitely worth it. There are toilets and picnic benches available, making it a beautiful spot to visit."
