"Lovely little beach, tiny place to park your car.. There's a pathway up the hill, but gone half way there, all muddy.. Not too safe to go up there.."

GESC family

"Easily accessed beach with short concrete walkway directly from parking to beach. People seems to be allowed to camp in tents there as there were a good few campsites set up. On the negative side, no toilets and alot of stones mixed in with the lovely white sand."
