The sandy beach is 200 m long and is in a steep valley. A creek crosses the beach and rocky headlands reach out at either end of the beach. Swimming can be hazardous because there is usually a strong rip which can sweep swimmers out to sea. You can also camp in the park and stay at cottages in the park and nearby. There is no camping at the beach. Check the website for maps, details and booking.
