This beach is so cute and the rocks are beautiful! There are a few rocks that you need to walk over to get in the actual beach and the current is very strong, which can be a little scary but overall the beach is very nice. There was parking available on the street and in a parking lot with beach access.

Loved it so much we went two days in a row! First day we were there, we were able to walk along the shoreline and found so many amazing shells! Second day we were there maybe was high tide? So we weren't able to walk on the shoreline. Instead we walked on top of the rocks. They have buckets there for you to pick up trash on your way if you'd like.
