User reviews
"During the month of August, this cove is likely the most captivating spot on the island. It's free of crowds, the sea is serene and clear, the sand is coarse, and shade is scarce until later in the day, which is an unusual occurrence on the island. Although the road leading to it is challenging to navigate and locate, it's unquestionably worth the effort."
Giovanni R.
"Although it's a bit of a trek to get there, the beach is definitely worth a visit. However, it's not ideal for swimming due to the abundance of rocks and algae on the ocean floor. It's recommended to wear shoes for the 15 minute descent and rubber shoes for getting into the water. Additionally, bring your own water and food as there are no refreshment options available."
