User reviews
"Although it's a unique spot, it's disappointing that they charge R15 for a 10-minute car park even on a winter Sunday. That's definitely a thumbs down."
Brighton Adventures
"The beach is serene and the sand is coarse but doesn't cling to objects. It's conveniently located near a camping site and the parking fee on February 23rd is R$20.00."
