Pinnacle beach

10 Lorenzo Rossi.

This beach is a hidden gem, with a leisurely 20-minute stroll from the nearest parking spot. Unfortunately, the path is not stroller-friendly. However, once you arrive, you'll be rewarded with a breathtaking view and a peaceful atmosphere, as the beach is not overcrowded. However, be prepared for some gusty winds and chilly water temperatures. I highly recommend bringing along anything that can shield you from the wind. Public restrooms are available nearby, making it convenient for visitors. Overall, this beach is a must-visit for those seeking a serene and picturesque escape from the hustle and bustle of everyday life.
