Sightseeing
A short walk leads to this absolutely stunning beach. Only accessible by foot, it's a much quieter spot if you prefer to stay away from the crowds. It's a steep descent into the beach via a number of stairs so make sure you wear a pair of decent walking shoes and pack some water.
You won't be disappointed by the view on the way in, nor the beautiful, clear & calm water that awaits you!
