Coastal Beach

Coastal Beach extends approximately 300 meters of light sand and connects to Hams Beach, with natural rock formations dotting the shoreline. The southern end features a network of sea caves that become accessible during low tide periods.

The sea caves at the southern end formed over thousands of years through wave action eroding the limestone cliffs. This geological formation demonstrates the constant reshaping of the coastline by natural forces.

Artists and photographers regularly gather here to capture the shifting light within the sea caves at sunrise. The location has become a meeting point for people drawn to documenting the natural beauty of the rocky shoreline.

The beach includes maintained facilities such as barbecue areas, picnic tables, restrooms, and showers year-round. Visitors should pay attention to tidal conditions, especially when exploring the caves, since these are only accessible during low tide.

The beach is known for its massive rock arches at the southern end that resemble natural bridges and look particularly striking in certain light. These structures create a striking visual contrast to the flat sand and make it an interesting place to explore on foot.
