The smaller of Castara's beaches, this is arguably a better spot for a day by the sea, with a beachside restaurant, good snorkelling and more of a holiday vibe. You can walk there from the main beach by taking the paved road up from the Naturalist resort, then a steep footpath off to the left; or drive right down steep Depot Rd (but note that the drive back up can be tricky in wet weather).
