Beautiful beach ! But honestly what is the point of paying the $20 if you have to pay an additional $3 to use the restroom that has no water and smells. It would be nice if they have portable toilets lower down on closer to the beach.

Great beach but the changing facilities are absolutely terrible. The changing rooms have little to no lighting, no water, smells disgusting, the showers have curtains and no doors with locks. Its very unsafe for women who want to change because anyone can come in. Love the beach, its easily accessible but something needs to be done about the changing facilities, especially if persone are paying to use the beach.

The bay is small and tucked in, with that dramatic drop off that makes the water feel deep and mysterious. I like that there’s usually a mix of families, divers, and people just cooling out. If you catch it on a quieter day, it’s magic.
