User reviews
"This hidden gem of a beach is simply fantastic, tucked away in a secluded spot and encircled by towering cliffs. To reach this idyllic spot, you'll need to make your way down a marked path from the parking area. The descent can be challenging in places, with steep inclines and some rocky terrain to navigate, but the rewards are well worth the effort."
Ethan Wintersmith
"I've been to one of the most stunning beaches ever! It's a bit off the beaten path, accessible via some gravel roads that ultimately lead to paradise. When we visited, there wasn't a soul in sight."
