2.0/5

View was amazing but the parking is literally on a hill so very tilted and no good for big campers (we were in a 6.4m one).
If you're in a normal sized van you might be okay. If you're in anything bigger would recommend driving on and paying for the doc camp further down the road. Road is sealed the whole way and at the end of the road is a really cool spot with an old stone wharf. Water was clear and beautiful.

Very nice view exactly as shown on the picture.
Sealed road good to go there by camper, very small place for parking-max.2 campers, parking is tilted. But worth to go there.
