Practical tips

Given the beach's sharp depth increase, consider wearing water shoes for comfort on the pebbled seabed. The lack of direct road access means arriving early is advisable to secure a spot on the rough terrain path. The nearby cafe, while not an official amenity, appears to be a consistent feature based on visitor reports.
