Nice cliff beach that’s less crowded than the others. Seems like it’s become more crowded though over time. It is a “nudist” beach but nearly everyone kept their suits on—probably because there were some creepy old dudes there on multiple days that kinda ruin things. For instance, a lady would take her top off and some creepy dude would move to the rocks behind her and start touching himself. It was bizarre. He started to do it behind me and my GF but we just kinda stared at him like WTF? and he went away. Couldn’t believe it would happen on a beach here. On another day, a lady noticed it was happening and told the guy to f*** off. He then left only to peer down on the beach from the top of the cliff. It’s a nice beach though when there’s no weirdos. 🤷‍♂️

Well worth the climb!!! It wasn’t too bad, never so steep or narrow that I was worried about losing footing but steep enough that I slowed way down and took my time. A few places you could slide for sure. We did it with a six month old and a 3 year old but it’s probably not for everyone especially if you’re carrying a stroller etc. The beach itself is gorgeous. Dramatic, shallow, big waves but no kelp. Not much shade so bring an umbrella. Took us 15-18 minutes from the lighthouse. Go off the boardwalk where there’s a piece missing. Tried to provide some photos of the steeper parts where it gets sandy/slippery. We were so glad we made the trek.

Spiaggia molto carina e suggestiva ma difficile da trovare. Il mio consiglio per raggiungerla è mettere su google maps la spiaggia in modalità auto in modo da farti arrivare ad un parcheggio (allego foto). C'è un piccolo percorso pedonale da seguire ma ad un certo punto bisogna scavalcare la staccionata e proseguire sullo sterrato (ho segnato sulla mappa in ROSSO il percorso pedonale, il PALLINO GIALLO dove bisogna scavalcare e in AZZURRO il percorso da fare a piedi). Appena trovi delle scale devi seguirle in modo da arrivare nella spiaggia. Le scale si trovano vicino ad un segnale di pericolo. Non è molto difficile arrivare nella spiaggia ma devi assolutamente usare le scarpe o i sandali, niente infradito o Birkenstock perché si scivola facilmente e il percorso è molto ripido e pericoloso. Non è adatto ai bambini e non è attrezzata. HOW TO REACH THE BEACH: Put the beach on google maps in order to get you to a parking lot (I attach photos). There is a small pedestrian path to follow but at a certain point you have to climb over the fence and continue on the dirt road (I marked the pedestrian path in RED on the map, the YELLOW POINT where you have to climb over and in BLUE the dirt path). As soon as you find some stairs you have to follow them in order to get to the beach. The stairs are located near a warning sign. It is not very difficult to get to the beach but you absolutely have to use shoes or sandals, no flip flops or Birkenstock because it slips easily and the path is very steep and dangerous.

Zugang: Am besten Richtung Cascade Wellness-Zentrum gehen. Dann der Straße entlang deren riesigen Geländes ganz bis zum Zaun folgen und dort rechts den versteckten, betonierten Fußweg nehmen. An der Gabelung rechts abbiegen auf den Holzsteg und gleich nach einer großen Kiefer mit knieförmigem Stamm, unter welcher ein ganz junger Feigenbaum wächst, (dahinter beginnt links vom Weg ein eingezäuntes Gelände) durch das Holzgeländer des Wegs schlüpfen und dem Trampelpfad nach rechts folgen und...

I walk the cliff-top path at least once a week throughout the year. Almost every time I'm there I encounter phone-huggers looking at Google maps (or equivalent) trying to find a way down to Canavial. They try all over the place, although there is ONLY ONE route down from the cliff-top.Repeat - there is ONLY ONE WAY DOWN. All the human traffic accelerates the erosion of the cliffs, sending even more rocks down onto what remains of the beach! At high tide the beach is completely covered by...
