This beach is one of the few remaining natural ones on the island's eastern side. Although it may be small, it's undeniably stunning.

4 Frustrating

The beach was quite small and didn't seem very well-maintained. Additionally, it was extremely crowded and there were only a few spots available for parking. The driveway leading to the beach was also a bit treacherous, especially considering the reckless way that locals tend to drive. Unfortunately, we didn't have a very positive experience and ended up leaving after only a minute.

During weekdays, the beach isn't too crowded. If you go towards the right after arriving, there's a small hidden area that's perfect for a calm and laid-back afternoon.

The beach is absolutely gorgeous and the water is very calm, making it perfect for swimming. However, parking is free but there are limited spaces available. Overall, this beach was our top pick on the island and we highly recommend it.

Although this beach is small, it's a lot of fun. However, the road leading down to it is quite steep, making the walk back up not very enjoyable. There's plenty of sand and stones to enjoy, as well as coconut trees that are perfect for setting up a hammock. The view of the waves crashing against the rocks and cliffs in the distance is amazing, and there's a little trail to walk. Additionally, there are a few huts, a public toilet, and a restaurant/bar available.
