User reviews

"If you're looking for a unique beach experience, make sure to visit this hidden gem. The beach is adorned with peculiar rocks that appear to be wet, even in dry weather. Additionally, the charming tunnel adds to the beauty of the beach and is definitely worth exploring. Don't miss out on this one-of-a-kind destination!"

Noyes Katrina

"The beach is conveniently located right next to the county bus stop, making it easily accessible for families with young children. It offers plenty of "safe" areas along the river and beach for kids to enjoy, as well as two caves to explore. Additionally, it's a popular surf spot for those looking to catch some waves. The beach is a great option for a family weekend outing, ..."
