User reviews
"A tranquil and pristine escape from the hustle and bustle of city life awaits you at this beach. The serene atmosphere is undisturbed by any vehicular noise. However, it is advisable to wear flippers as the beach is slightly rugged with rocks. If you are an adventure seeker, then rock-climbing is the activity that you must indulge in while you are here."
Nate O'Connell
"During low tide, we hiked through the jungle to get to this secluded beach from West Railey. On our way back, we went around the rocks. It's worth mentioning that this beach is open to the public for free."
