5.0/5

Beautiful camping spot right next to the sea.
Aside from a few cars coming by we were alone in camping here for the night. There are no facilities at all, alone a gravel parking lot. The road the last few kms is gravel, a bit rough, just need to take it slow.

Absolutely beautiful site.
A bit of a trek to get too.. approx 2.5km dirt track and the site itself is quite uneven so hard to find level ground. But unreal scenery. Suitable for self contained only!
