About
Massive unbroken expanse of white untamed sand. Lacks continuous nearshore reef so massive Atlantic waves crash directly onto the steep beach face, creating a heavy dumping shore break. Premier location for secluded picnics and beachcombing.

Notes
Despite the unappealing name, one of the most striking beaches on the island. Heavy shore break requires extreme caution and swimming is not advised.
