A short distance from the ocean, you can practically hear the waves crashing along the rocks - We camped here in early August and the bugs we absolutely terrible. TERRIBLE! You could hear them swarming around the tent. High pitched buzzing and all. Down by the water it was at least bearable, but at the site I hardly left the tent. The host of the area was a really nice guy. He even gave us some firewood so we could enjoy the night.The ground is very moist - almost mossy, still a wonderful spot to rest your head in peace and quiet.
