User reviews
"This beach boasts crystal clear waters and is a great spot for swimming and cliff jumping. However, it is quite rocky, so it's advisable to bring some water shoes. The road leading to the beach is narrow, and there are no facilities such as restrooms or showers. Additionally, there are no lifeguards on duty."

"Once you navigate the steep drive on a narrow road, you'll discover a charming, petite bay nestled between rugged, red cliffs."
