User reviews
"The beach is absolutely stunning, with gorgeous red cliffs in the background. The sand is incredible, clean, and there is plenty of room for everyone. Due to the cliffs being quite hazardous, there are no animals or dogs allowed. The water is delightful, and if you're interested, you can even rent pedalos or jet skis to enjoy your time on the water."
Harrison
"The beaches and rock formations along this coast are truly remarkable. You have the option to stroll along the sandy shore or hike along the cliff, surrounded by lush greenery. Each offers a unique perspective of the rock formations. Additionally, the sunset views are absolutely breathtaking. I highly recommend visiting!"
