The beach is stunning, but it's a bit of a challenge to reach on foot, so most visitors arrive by boat. However, the upside is that it's not crowded, which makes it an ideal spot to soak up the sun and enjoy the scenery.

Although the cove is picturesque, it's location at the bottom of the Gulf of Valinco and the strong currents often result in accumulation of trash and plastic. Unfortunately, due to these conditions, I was unable to go for a swim.
