    Facing a stone cliff and wave are high when raining. Don’t feel safe at this kind of weather . 1 grid phone signal. Can’t see the toilet

    Stunning spot with an amazing sunset view. Make sure you get in early as there are only 3 parks available. Almost no phone signal and the singular toilet is not so nice too. I just camped out in my car for the night, the other vehicles were self contained.

    A beautiful spot with an epic sunset but there were locals playing loud music and doing burnouts in the carpark so didn’t feel the safest. Minimal signal and a toilet that also locks from the outside? Got there at roughly 5pm and took the second spot (early feb)

    No internet signal with the phone. Otherwise it’s a site with direct beach access - however somewhere we did not like it. A lot of people coming by with cars and leave short after it. We left to another campsite.

    Very windy. Contrary to the description here, tents are not allowed.

    Very nice spot right in front of the beach. There is one toilet by the camping area. For non self and self contained vehicles.

    Was a great place to stay. Went there as 3rd and still got a spot. Right by the sea with a beach for swimming 😊

    Seemed like a lovely spot right by the beach. Unfortunately couldn't stay here because there were two motorhomes parked close enough together that no one else could fit in between but far enough apart that they took up all of the designated area even though it's meant for 3 vehicles

    Chill place. Calm sea, many people fishing. There are toilets near the staircase. Only 3 spots, so park early and walk to town if needed.
