Visit this on a windy stormy day for it to be breath taking I SUSPECT.

Walk along the boardwalk and see how the waves crash up and you can see the mist from far away. Very natural, left untouched by the tourist traps.

Not much too see really. We only went for a look becuase we were close by. There is not much too see unless the sea is really rough!
