"Amazing beach you can only get to by boat or by hiking. Amazing views, lots of sea urchins, and even a little cave to sit in."
Jul 16, 2026"A very pretty pebble beach, almost deserted. The only downside is that it's very difficult to access, so I don't recommend it for families with children or people who don't like mountainous terrain."

Aug 11, 2025"It's okay to get there, but the bay is as such that all the trash of the ocean ends up there. Maybe we were just unlucky, but everyone there was disappointed. We also had some sea urchin encounters along the sides of the bay, so it was not an ideal place to swim at all. To just hang out, it's fine and off the beaten track, but no more than that."
Jul 21, 2025"There's a wasps' nest at the entrance from the coastal path; you have to go by boat. It's beautiful but practically inaccessible."
