A place of incredible beauty. The snow-white beach attracts and pleases the eye! A wonderful place for a picnic. There is one problem with parking. Very few parking places.

Fantastic beach, perfect for any one who enjoys wide open space, a climb down & up but worth it. Sit in the dunes for a picnic, or on the beach, if you feel brave try the (chilly) waters!! Sometimes there are cows there too.Perfect for dog walks & ball chasing

This is a beautiful beach to go and swim or relax. The water is cold, as expected! The waves are strong, as expected. There is a parking lot with no fees. Although it is a nice walk down the hill, it does take some time to climb back up the trail the up numerous steps. So be mindful of the walk back up. Along the walk we saw numerous cows, so also watch your step, as there may be some droppings along the way
