Be mindful of the abundance of stone on the beach, as it can be quite slippery.

This beach is the perfect spot for anyone looking for a wild and private adventure. Though the path is not suitable for children, elderly people, or those with physical limitations, it can be accessed with the right footwear and a bit of determination. It takes around 35 minutes to get to the beach, with the first section being fairly straightforward. However, halfway up the metal staircase, things become a bit more tricky. You'll need to carefully cross the ravine and then descend the path of ash and stones. When you arrive, you'll find a wide, natural beach all to yourself. Unfortunately, the strong wind and rough sea may not make swimming possible. Before visiting, make sure to check the weather and be prepared for a possible argument with your girlfriend if she's expecting a swim!

Beautiful and wild beach. Not easy to reach for those who are not familiar with walking on exposed and unpredictable paths. The route can become very dangerous. Also pay attention to waves and currents that can be very violent. Otherwise a paradise.
