Why it's worth your time
A unique South Coast cove defined by a waterfall that drops directly onto the sand. It is a sheltered, picturesque spot that feels like a natural amphitheater.
What we love
The waterfall, which provides a refreshing backdrop to the beach.
What to know
The beach is small and can become very crowded during holidays.
