Incredible place. Unfortunately, it was difficult to get down as it has rain a lot and the path was almost gone. Lots climbing and kind of scary for old people or children

Wonderful beach with crystal clear water! In November we have been there almost alone. Beach not littered with trash. Path leading to the beach steep and slippery - not recommended for little children, but our dog made it easily.

A must do visit/hike for all. View and hike is spectacular!!!! Beach is beautiful and pictures don't do it justice...wear hiking shoes or comfortable sneakers as trail is rocky and steep in some areas....stay on trail and follow purple paint arrow indicators on rocks as a guide....enjoy

Wear good shoes!! I went there with flip flops. To go there, you need to go down on rocks so it is so much safer to wear hiking shoes. Like me, I see a lot of people with flip flops, very young kids around 5, dog owners, and people with portable fridge. They all seemed very difficult to walk after seeing the way to go down, so be mindful with the shoes and young children.
The view was very beautiful, the beach was chill, there were some stones and rocks under the water but it was okay. I recommend to go there if you enjoy hiking.

Absolutely breathtaking!!! The hike, the views on views, the destination, just pure perfection! And not crowded at all, it was a Monday though. The hike felt safe as long as you stay on a trail. I would recommend hiking shoes or sneakers. We did do it in flip flops and were fine but the rocks can be slippery. Oh and the water was so clear and beautiful too, except it was too cold for us but other people were swimming and enjoying it. For reference it was May 12 when we went. 💙🐟🌊
