It was difficult to find parking there. There were a lot of people over there although it was Tuesday morning. Iced matcha from the kiosk was sweeter than I prefer. No showers, just toilets, but at least you can wash your feet. The water was clean. The view is amazing!

This beach is a hidden gem offering a peaceful escape with stunning city skyline views. The calm, swimmable waters make it an ideal spot for a refreshing dip, and the feeling of reaching an untouched cove adds to its charm. While parking can be a challenge, the scenic walk leading to the beach is a rewarding experience in itself. The soft sand and clear waters create the perfect setting for a relaxing swim, even in deeper areas right after stepping in. There is also a small kiosk on the beach where visitors can find delicious food and essential items. However, facilities like showers and sunbathing areas are minimal, making it best suited for those who prefer a more natural beach experience.

This is a wonderful beach. Getting there can be a bit hard, and parking is rare on a sunny day. But the beach is great and you can walk the rocks to see some creatures. The sand gets full on a summer day and getting a place for a few people can be hard. The water is clean, the waves small and the kiosk has some great choices of healthy food.

Nice beach for a local hideaway spot. It still gets crowded on a hot day but not like the more popular beaches such as Bondi or Manly. You can still move around freely or even find your own spot on a hot day.
