This is a beautiful secluded beach! You can get here by foot (about a 30 minute walk over lava rocks) or by off-roading in a 4WD vehicle. If you choose to go by foot, go early! The sun gets very hot on those lava rocks. Bring a hat, lots of water, and snacks to enjoy a day at this lovely secluded location.

Best with a 4 wheel drive or higher clearance. Rough road but beautiful beach!
