The beach is absolutely stunning, with crystal clear waters and immaculate sand. What's even better is that it's completely deserted. You can take a leisurely stroll back to your car and enjoy the breathtaking scenery along the way.

The views are simply breathtaking and almost surreal. It's highly recommended to arrive early to witness the sunrise. Trust me, it's worth it.

This beach offers breathtaking views, but it can be quite windy. To access the palm tree forest, you'll need to climb a broken path from the beach. There are also paths in the grass that lead to the rocks, but be sure to wear sturdy shoes as the volcanic rock is very hard and sharp.
