User reviews
"The drive to get to this beach is a bit of a hassle, but it's worth it for the views. However, the water is not as warm as one might expect and the waves are quite strong, so caution must be taken. It's more of a place for taking pictures than swimming, and I would recommend going when the sun is at its highest."

Even so, the view is absolutely worth it. During the week, the parking lot is usually quite empty, but it might be different on the weekend. If you'd like to take a walk along the coast, you..."
