User reviews
"The ocean at this beach is a stunning shade of blue and is surrounded by striking black rocks. It's a lovely spot for a leisurely stroll along the shore and admiring the various shelves. If you're feeling adventurous, you can even take a walk along the ridge. However, it's important to note that swimming is not allowed at this beach due to the dangerous conditions."
