The beach is backed by 216 metres (709 ft) of hilly slopes filled with vegetation and can only be accessed by foot. It is a popular tourist attraction, with thousands flocking to the area during Christmas. Although un-patrolled, few drownings have been recorded at the beach. High swells and rough surf are common at times and it is regarded as the best surf beach in the area with usually consistent swell.
