On Komoot, only standard access is shown / listed as the (only) option (sturdy shoes and a minimum of surefootedness are sufficient for this). However, there are 2 more descents with a little climbing (one of them indicated on the map with the black line on the creek that ends in nothing), where you can get out directly on the beach itself, but which are only recommended if you are sure-footed. For those with alpine experience, however, a nice little scramble with dreamy views vertically over the beach and a short climb in the lowest degree of difficulty right in the middle of the beach (all variants are clearly visible on Google Earth)!

The southern path, dotted at Komoot, is easy to do, even if it is quite steep in parts.
Maybe I'm too blind, but I couldn't find the two more northern routes. Maybe you can climb up and down there, but it's not a path you could take. However, it is also possible that rocks have broken off here.
