The beach is stunning and offers breathtaking views from the pointe. However, getting back up from the beach can be challenging, but the effort is well worth it.

The beach and view are stunning, but reaching it requires a trek up a steep incline.

The beach is stunning with crystal-clear water, but it's important to be cautious during high tide as there are only pebbles. However, accessing the beach can be a bit challenging for some as it requires a steep hike through the heather that takes around 10-15 minutes from the car park.
