Incredible spot; we were only three trucks on the entire site in the middle of July, so far apart from one another that we could enjoy a magnificent sunset.
All as description. If you want to be near the beach. Very busy on summer and weekends.
Very beautiful spot with a magnificent view.
Magnificent view, beautiful spot, guaranteed tranquility in March.
The parking bays fill up quickly; the rest of the area is generally sloped.
Amazing place to see the sunset. Level and quiet. Restaurant nearby.
Did not spent the night but good place to stop for lunch for example, the parking is not very straight but the gorgeous views from the cliffs and the empty beach are worth it.
Fabulous! What more can be said? An extraordinary view, free and easy access, and plenty of mostly level spaces. Plus the spectacle of the constantly moving sea. Simply magical.
Great place to stop, above the beach and with a wonderful view. No toilet, no shower.
Quiet in July, very spacious and fairly level.
Very difficult to find a level spot, and you are always standing in the full wind. The view is great. Overnight parking is prohibited.
Very nice spot for a walk on the beach, but forbidden to park overnight in this whole area according to a sign at the start of the road along the coast.
A super beautiful campsite with a breathtaking view :) It was very pleasant. You could listen well to the sound of the sea. The campsite is not far from the main road and you occasionally hear cars, but they are not too loud. Several other campers were staying here with us, but everyone had enough space. Overall, highly recommended :)
Wonderful view. We stayed with two other campers, but there were several parking options along the road. Access to the beach at the end of the road. We opened the rear hatch and simply watched the waves for several minutes. A really beautiful place!
Great park up overlooking the ocean and a short walk downhill to a stunning beach. Lovely in quiet when we were there but there was also a few campers. The area has subdued lighting in the evening. Fantastic. No services and please leave no trace.
The view is breathtaking!! We stayed here with four other campers and felt safe. The place was very clean, but since there is no public toilet, be prepared: either have one with you or clean up after yourself! We will definitely come back!
Incredible spot! Magnificent view for spending beautiful evenings. Never alone in late September, but more than enough space not to be packed together. I recommend it!!
Perfect spot for sunsets. Beautiful. No toilet, so please take your used toilet paper with you!!
Beautiful, large parking area. It filled up quickly in the morning, but otherwise it was great.
We spent a day there, rocked by the sound of the ocean. Brilliant. An amazing view. So good. No one said anything to us; there were several of us.
Lovely place. The nearby village is completely deserted at the end of September.
Beautiful place, great view over the endless beach with cliffs. Many reasonably level spaces.
Super beautiful place with a great view and wonderful beach. Unfortunately, the toilets were closed.
WOW! A truly fantastic place with an incredibly beautiful sunset! Hearing the sound of the waves at night is really relaxing. There were about 15 cars, vans, and campers staying there, but there is enough space for everyone!
Wauw! Most beautiful spot we’ve been so far. Had a great time with sounds of the waves in the background. The parking area can be fully filled with bathing guests, especially in the weekend. If you want the best spot, you probably need to wait in your van until nice spots come available. No facilities.
One of my favorite places! Right by the sea! The spot was recommended to me by locals! There are garbage bins, but otherwise nothing. Please take care of your pee and poop if you do not have a toilet on board! We stayed here with the motorhome; vans are also allowed! :)
Good location with a view of the ocean, but many people were there at the beginning of September. Clean toilets available.
