    Nice beach. Definitely have to time the tide right. Some people aren’t always the friendliest, and is quite often very littery but you can look past those and have an enjoyable time.

    Sublime shiny black sand beach, local fishermen, beautiful cliffs. Short walk along the beach. Famous place, but so big that you will be quiet. I was fortunate to see a fisherman using an ancient method of net fishing, with old tools. The setting is beautiful I do not understand people who complain ... Go to town if you do not like the real neoZ beaches! I advise for lovers of beaches and beautiful landscapes that appease!

    Very unspectacular .. The beach was full of tire tracks. And that was not really nice around it either. To picnic too windy. Detour is not worth it. Were there in cloudy weather.

    We did not have the oppprtunite to do it, but there is a 2h30 hike back and forth to the seaside! Quiet place, beautiful landscapes.

    Black sand beach with possibility to go into the sea. If you are lucky, there is even an ice cream truck on site!

    this beach, with its rock pool, cliff, and sand, is quite awesome. but its even better if you can go there during the sunshine, at low tide, the place looks magic !

    Beautiful beach with the view of cliff at the side. The black sand is glittering! Very windy though.
