User reviews
"This beach offers breathtaking views, but it can be quite windy. To access the palm tree forest, you'll need to climb a broken path from the beach. There are also paths in the grass that lead to the rocks, but be sure to wear sturdy shoes as the volcanic rock is very hard and sharp."
Nikolai Petrovichov
"The beach offers stunning scenery and is accessible to the public for free. The views are absolutely breathtaking and would be a great spot for anyone looking to relax and soak up some sun."
