User reviews
"Located among the 17 mile drive, lies one of the most exquisite coves that nature has to offer. The beach is a perfect haven to unwind and bask in the glory of the setting sun. You can spend your leisure time by skipping rocks or simply soaking in the stunning views that surround you. It's a great spot to rejuvenate and unwind from the daily grind."
Nate Branson
"This charming beach is a gem. My family and I relished a couple of hours basking in the sun. The sand is pristine and the avian life is entertaining. However, be prepared for the occasional seaweed and the absence of restroom facilities. Despite the minor drawbacks, this beach is definitely worth revisiting."
