Do not go there with a motorhome or large van! It is a real trap! Accessing the spot requires taking an extremely steep, rocky road with extremely tight turns. You also have no network coverage, so good luck getting out if you get stuck there. Absolutely avoid it!
The access is steep, but no problem with a Fiat Ducato L2H2. The cove is magnificent and worth the detour. Free toilet and shower, and a very pleasant little tavern.
The dead-end road was too steep for us with front-wheel drive and 4.2 tonnes. The gravel road is also badly washed out. In mid-March there was little sun, strong wind and rough seas. A beautiful photographic subject, but we are moving on. No 4G network or other reception.
The beach is incredible, and the color of the water is spectacular. There is a huge amount of rubbish washed ashore; we collected three large bags, but there is still a lot left. We went down in a 6 m Ducato without problems. The last curves are tight and narrow, but manageable if you drive the van well; we do not recommend it for longer vehicles. If you do not want to risk driving down, you can park above and walk down. There is no internet signal on the beach. It is worth visiting, even just to enjoy the beach; there is a gorge where you can hike.
With our 6m long Ducato, a bit challenging access; one curve requires some maneuvering and it's quite steep but definitely doable. If it's raining you'll probably have some issues getting back up again. Beach is beautiful. In the weekends there are many locals camping on the beach.
