Beach side spot under trees.
As others say, it's on the side of the main road, so you will hear passing traffic including trucks but it's just their notice as they pass, not horns or anything. As night goes on it lessens and the beach view and sound. If you need quiet, get a DOC pass or pack earplugs.
There are two pit toilets. Park smart, be aware of soft sand and loose overhead branches. It does get cool. Overall, I'd park here again.
