What people say

Exploring Somewhere

"This purple sand beach is also home to the Keyhole Arch. For a few weeks in late January there is a "light show" phenomenon where the sun sets perfectly through the arch. Even in the summer months this beach is a beautiful spit to spend an afternoon, though be sure to check the weather because this beach is prone to high speed winds. Day use parking is $15 and there are no refunds if it is too windy to enjoy the beach. "
