Great little beach for this area. Depending on the weather, direction of swell and wind it can be sheltered. Reasonable amount of parking unless it’s busy. No toilets near this beach.

The water is a magnificent colour. The beach is not patrolled and the waves are shore breakers. No real amenities. On the plus side, a pod of dolphins came into the bay and were surfing the waves, which thrilled everyone!
