"This beach near La Lajita is amazing! It's a great spot to relax and unwind. The scenery is breathtaking, and the atmosphere is perfect for a peaceful day. The water is crystal clear and the sand is soft and inviting. I had an amazing time here and would definitely recommend it to anyone looking for a great beach experience."
Gianni Pescatore
"This location is spotless, but don't expect a sandy shore - as is typical for this island. It's a rocky beach, so if you're looking for a sandcastle-building experience, you'll be disappointed."
