How to get there
The last couple of km's to the beach is on we'll serviced gravel road. To continue on the track beyond the spot marked you will need a vehicle with good ground clearance. The sand on the beach is soft and deep so best avoided unless you have 4WD, big tires and a winch in case of trouble. You may be ok on the wet sand at low tide, but the sand at the top of the beach is unforgiving.
