Walked around and really enjoyed the spot. $15 to rent a board on site. Take a board with you before you go.

Sand dunes to your left and ocean to your right. Perfect. Particularly liked the key hole rock out to sea.

Nice walk over the dunes through a little river. Awesome place, nice landscape, feels like the Sahara.

The sand dunes are gorgeous. We were so impressed of this natural wonder. You do not have to hire a sandboard as well, it is as much fun if you hike the dunes.

It feels like being in the desert, you can slide from the top.
