This beach is truly one of the most captivating places I have ever been to. The crystal-clear blue sea looks like a work of art, and the lack of commercial activities on the island makes it feel like a true paradise. Climbing up the small hill offers a breathtaking 360-degree view of the entire landscape.

4 Frustrating

The beach has rocks just below the water's surface that are slippery. When combined with strong winds and high waves, many people have lost their balance and been pulled along the rocks by the waves. It's best to visit on a calm day with no waves or wind if you plan to go.
