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.
