Wilderness Beach
West coastNot verified: Scores estimated from public sources, pending an on-site check: they may change.
Rugged stretch of coast below the cliffs of Ramey, reached by a dirt road. Famous for big-wave surfing in winter, with ruins, rocks and patches of sand rather than a beach for lounging.
