This beach offers a serene escape where one can immerse themselves in the soothing melody of the waves and the calls of seagulls. Alternatively, visitors can relish a refreshing beer at the Goat Ledge Cafe. The optimal time to visit is during low tide, as it reveals a vast expanse of sand to leisurely stroll along.
