User reviews
"This stunning beach boasts black sand that's sure to take your breath away. However, before you can access the road leading to the beach, you'll need to wait until 7:00 for the guard to open the gate, as the road runs through a private neighborhood. If you plan on driving, be aware that the parking lot is small, so arriving early in the day is highly recommended."

"In person, this beach surpasses expectations. The tranquility and seclusion it exudes is unparalleled. The sand is velvety soft underfoot, while the water is clear as crystal. It's a snorkeler's paradise, with an abundance of fish within a mere 20-50 feet from the shore.
What I loved most about this beach was how calm the water was, with no waves to disrupt the serenity. ..."
