It is a small sandy surf beach with steep step access, a little local lore, and enough exposure to produce real beach waves when the west-northwest swell is up.

The Wave
Access is via steep uneven steps and only a couple of cars fit at the top. At low water the steps and rocky access are the issue, so only drop in when the west-northwest line is standing up cleanly and the beach is actually surfable.
