User reviews

"The beach is secluded and well-maintained, but parking at the bottom appears to be limited. I ended up parking on the sidewalk where most vehicles were parked. Upon arrival, you'll need to register with a QR code at the entrance. However, I encountered a locked gate when I returned. It's worth noting that the beach closes at 4pm on Wednesdays. Enjoy your visit!"

"The views from the lighthouse were incredible! To our surprise, the beach was nearly deserted, and we had a half mile of coastline all to ourselves. It was the perfect spot for a romantic getaway without any crowds."
