Data source Accessibility
Red Beach is accessible via a steep path leading from the parking area. The roads are often narrow and may require specialized vehicles for transporting equipment to the site. Public transportation options are limited; bringing your own vehicle is the best option. Phone coverage is generally good in this area.
Basecamp and facilities
There is a small parking area located about a 15-minute walk from the beach, with no restroom facilities directly on the beach. It's essential to plan accordingly and bring necessary supplies for longer filming sessions.
Risk factors
The beach is prone to unfolding land erosion and occasional rockfalls from the cliffs. The sand can be hot and coarse, making it challenging to move heavy equipment during peak sun hours. Additionally, strong currents in the sea can pose safety risks.
Visitors
Although a popular tourist spot, especially in summer, visitors are mainly concentrated on the beach during peak hours. Early morning or late afternoon visits can provide more space for filming.
