Honestly, I didn't have the greatest experience given that I sliced my toe in the sharp rocks on the beach. However, the view and quality of the beach was amazing. It is secluded and incredibly pristine. I was running and wasn't looking so I accidentally cut my toe on the sharp, sheet-like rocks that layer the sand. I would for sure go back if I could.

Beach is full of sand flies and washed up kelp. There was also a rotting dead sea lion that stank up the whole beach. For a beach you would expect to be pristine and untouched, there was an abandoned kayak and a bunch of trash and abandoned tents. Worst beach on the island, not worth the long hike. Should have just gone to Little Harbor.

Great place to visit - if you can get to it. This is one where, if you don't live on the island or have a friend who does and can drive in the interior, you'll have to hike or bike to. But, as long as you can get to it, check it out!
