Wonderful place. It worth to pay a visit.

2 Very poor

Tried to go here on christmas day, but there was a closed gate on the road. The road crosses a private property and so the place might not be accessible.

10 Exceptional

Beautiful hidden beach, it is an experience to walk in its puddles full of life. Seeing crabs, shrimp and fish is something wonderful and accompanied by that beautiful sunset even more so. Prepare your tennis shoes because the descent is important but the climb even more so 🥹

10 Exceptional

I had heard about this place with white sand in the north of the island and I wanted to see it. It was a pleasant surprise, a super calm and energetic place.

10 Exceptional

Advantages: fewer people, quieter, can be used as a mountain climbing exercise. Disadvantages: From the parking area to the beach, you need to walk through a ten-story cliff path for about ten minutes, which is a bit tiring! It is not recommended to bring children.
