User reviews
"A bit difficult to access, as you have to take some dodgy routes, stairs and cliffs. But the view is worth it - the scenery is stunning and the waters are crystal clear. The waves are big, yet I haven't seen anyone surfing. It's called a natural beach, but they mean naturally nude people."
Ava Shekhawat
"Not an easy place to get to - the steep cliffs act as a barrier, making it difficult to get down to the ocean. Climbing without experience or local guidance is not recommended. Even if you can't get down to the beach, the view from the top of the cliffs is still stunning. It feels like being in another world, but getting to the beach is a challenge."
