This beach is often rated one of the most beautiful in the world. It is pristine and naturally beautiful and you can feel it when you are walking around. The problem is that you have to deal with cape traffic and then park and take a bus to the beach area which is kind of time consuming. It is beautiful because they protect it so you have to deal with the regulations.
