What makes it special
Rock platforms dominate the cove, drawing visitors for cliff jumping, dramatic sunset viewing and clear-water snorkeling. The landscape is wild and unmanicured—no facilities, no crowds, just rocky terrain and the sea. The water is pristine and cold enough to refresh, and the soft flat rocks provide natural platforms for laying out and watching the light change.
Good to know

The water is cold at first, but warms quickly once you're in. Crystal clear and ideal for snorkeling.
Dogs are welcome. You can hike with them through the pine woods or along the dirt road beside the cove.
Getting there
