Absolutely stunning! I had the pleasure of seeing dolphins in the ocean during my visit and it was perfect for swimming, watching the sunset, or just relaxing. What's more, it's easily accessible, making it a great destination for anyone looking for a perfect day out.

8 Very good

This spot is far from pleasant; it's wild and uninviting. You're likely to be met with scorching, skin-burning heat in the summer, and frigid cold in the winter. It's definitely not a tourist spot.
