Facing a pristine stony beach, simple friendly place. Road noise not really a problem. Lots of wild birds in fenced areas. Nice short walks nearby. Lovely!

Great views, no facilities, free. Wind almost blew us away and car was shaking but could be seasonal. Would still recommend for self contained cars

In the night quiet, not easy to find. Sea is not suitable for swimming.

Five spots. For certified free campers only as no toilet or shower. Amazing water views, and couldn’t hear anything from our spot due to the waves. No beach so only gets a 9 :-)

Very nice direct location by the sea. It has about 5 spots with plenty of space around 3 picnic areas but no toilet.

Nice site right on the water. Gave an 8 as a little bit noisy being close to the road, and cars coming in and out of the car park till late.

Beautiful view to the sea. Space for 6-8 campervans. We enjoyed the stay for one night. Only for self contained vehicles.
