This beautiful treasure of a beach can only be reached by a tough hike through woods and brush and two hills sometimes offering mosquitoes and other varmits...but the effort is completely worthwhile when you arrive at the view of the ocean and empty beach....which you can practically call your own while you are there...There are no concessions or other distractions...

All in all,... More
