    The place is OK, the toilet works, and the beach is great.

    Very nice surfing spot with toilet, yet the network does not capture very well

    Really great view, a lot of space and a toilet. We watched the first sunrise of the year while a few people were surfing. The car of one of the surfers got stolen right next to us, would not recommend. Also really bad internet and signal.

    The view is absolutely magnificent. It's a fantastic spot with beautiful colors for the sunset and sunrise right in front of us. It's incredibly beautiful. There's one toilet. There's a designated area for surfers, so it gets very busy from 5 a.m. onwards.

    Gorgeous place to stay! You have the hills behind you and the ocean in front. There’s plenty of spaces and it’s awesome seeing so many people surfing out there! The toilet is functional & that’s about it. No soap & floor is often wet. We spoke to our neighbours and they were lovely and friendly. We felt very safe here. We weren’t sure if it was in the permit zone but I’m pretty sure it’s not

    Parking space right on the beach, perfect spot for the sunrise. But the street next door is very loud, from 5:30 onwards the logging trucks roar past.
