User reviews
"Stony beach is a great place to unwind, and it's not too busy. On the day we visited, the ocean was quite rough and the waves were crashing onto the shore. We got drenched by a huge wave that came out of nowhere. There were a few Portuguese man o' war jellyfish on the beach, so be mindful if you have kids with you."
Peyton Finkle
"This beach is definitely worth a visit! There are some fascinating fossil rocks on display, and around the corner there is a natural swimming pool. Plus, the beach itself is quite interesting, with its gray fine pebbles."
