The local verdict
Worth a quick visit if you're in the area and want facilities nearby, but don't expect solitude or pristine scenery during peak season.

Watch your footing on the rocks, they're genuinely slippery, especially when wet. Visit outside July-August if you can.
Common mistakes
Underestimating how slippery the rocks are and showing up in mid-July expecting a relaxing beach day. Wear proper water shoes and come early or out of season.
