"This beach is an absolute marvel with its magnificent striated red cliffs and two cascading waterfalls that grace the shore. The sheer abundance of grey pebbles and rocks is something I have never seen before. It is a tranquil and serene location that is definitely worth the journey."

At the end of the path, there are steps that lead you ..."
