Awesome beach, great for surfing! Though the lifeguards think otherwise. I completely understand why they are there, but their attitude towards my group was completely unacceptable.

Lovely beach, wild and untamed. Come here if you like nature and pebbles. Crashing waves and strong cross currents. It is life affirming.

Great location. Parking lot next to beach (limited spots). Will get a ticket if parked in restricted areas. Food truck with food and beverage options. Bathroom with showers.
