User reviews
"The spot is truly a hidden gem among the sulfur beaches in the area. It's the first one I've visited and I must say, it's the most beautiful experience I've had in my life. The beach has all the basic amenities you need and it's easy to access - just park your car and climb down. And the best part? You can even swim to the caves!"
Ciara Colonia Wellness & Fitness
"The beach offers basic amenities and is on the smaller side, with a stony terrain. Sunbeds and umbrellas are available for a fee at the top of the beach before descending. The beach is especially enjoyable in the morning when it's more peaceful, but tends to get busier after 10-10:30am."
