About

McPhillips Beach is a unique spot where you can drive directly onto the sand. It is a favorite for families and those with 4x4 vehicles. However, the access road can be steep and narrow, so it is not for the faint of heart. It is a beautiful, expansive beach, but be careful not to get stuck in the soft sand.
