As picturesque as this location may be, beware!!! We visited on Boxing Day afternoon, (26.12.21) experienced a very muddy parking area, found that payment for the car park was was by phone contact, and without any other means of payment that I could see.

Everything is set up well to maintain social distancing and keep everything clean. Once we got back from kayaking/paddleboarding, we dipped our buoyancy aids in disinfectant before hanging them up. I recommend this beach if you want to...
