If you’re after a secluded and quiet beach then Box beach is for you. No crowded people, good for fishing. Easy walk from the car park. Not sure about public toilets, I didn’t see any at the car park.

Reasonable waves good for body boarding, suitable for kids too. Rocks and hills to explore if interested, not too far from the car park. No showers or toilets though and domestic pets are prohibited.

Very windy place! We were there on our holiday in the begining of the year, although summer, this days in this beach was really windy. But it was amazing and quiet. A lot of nice places and Stones to be the perfect scenario to the best pictures. Loved this place, we intended comming back to visit on another opportunity.

Great place to hide away for a few hours. Surrounded by clifs and rocks it's a real picture in this bay. You should make it a must see.

Amazing! We watched the sunrise here and basked in the golden glow of the sun and the serenity of the space. We even saw a few dolphins coming up to greet the sun! hahaha The beach was also easy to access, just a very short walk and you're in another world!
