Description
iOverlander cannot verify if wild camping is permitted at this location. It is your responsibility to verify local laws or obtain consent before staying the night.
Technically a public beach but I'll call it private based on our experience. (You need 4x4!!) With the exception of a few cars that drove in around 10am to take a picture and then left essentially 30 seconds later, we've been totally alone since we got here yesterday around 4pm. Unfortunately, you can't drive all the way up onto the beach and it kind of smells like dead animal near where you leave your car because of some crab carcasses that are around. But we loved it here. We pitched our ground tent a bit closer to the water than where we left our car and felt totally safe. No surfing because it's in a cove and the water is too calm, but it made for some amazing swimming in super clear water (not cold at all!) No facilities.
Why? By checking in after you’ve visited a place you let others know this place is still functional. You can also add or correct any information.

Good looking beach.. but workers are reconstructing it, so not much cars can fit to be parked, and you can’t drive on the beach, they blocked it with huge rocks.. so not so nice place to overnight anymore, I guess (if you want to be in ur 4x4). And the road to the beach is very rough
Report Check-InNice, really wild camping spot. Possible to reach with a good 4x4. I ended up not staying for the night, as there were some people fishing when I arrived.
The fisherman left their Suzuki Vitara about 200m before the beach, as the track gets rough after a small river.
