The beach has a certain charm to it and it's located in a somewhat secluded area. To get there, you can take the 3 bays path and descend via a wooden staircase to the bay of lovers. It's a peaceful and often deserted beach where you can enjoy a swim in the sea during high tide.

This bay is a small, secluded spot that can only be reached on foot, unlike the nearby Turtle Bay. It's perfect for a quick lunch break while exploring the three bays. Snorkeling is an option here, and you may spot turtles, guitar rays, and small sharks. However, the tide can sometimes create issues or make the water murky. The bay is named after the past use of young couples hiding here among the dense vegetation to enjoy some privacy.
