User reviews
"That place is great for dogs and it's a nice spot to sit and relax. It's a bit of a trek from the main road, and parking is limited, but if you have a Le Tieja, you can park there and it's only a 20 minute walk. Plus, the beach has beautiful brown sand."
Ava Avonlea
"That place is quite secluded and peaceful. It seems to be mostly frequented by locals and those with dogs. There are much more attractive beaches in the vicinity."
