This beach is truly one of the most remarkable geological sites I have ever visited! Take a leisurely stroll, marvel at the captivating lava sculptures, and then take a refreshing dip in the beautiful sea just steps away. Best of all, admission is free. Don't forget to wear comfortable shoes for your exploration.

The beach boasts an awe-inspiring lunar landscape formed by lava stones and salt, with hardly any people in sight. It is a hidden gem that can be accessed via a dusty road.

The beach is absolutely incredible and definitely worth a visit. It offers stunning lava formations and a breathtaking view of the sea. Accessing the beach is simple, although the road leading to it can be quite dirty.

The beach is smaller than anticipated and can be reached by a lengthy dirt road. Parking is limited, but there are only a few people visiting. There are no shaded areas or amenities such as trash bins, but there are also no entrance fees or information booths. It is advisable to bring water with you due to the hot weather. Additionally, there is a small beach area with some sand. The rock formations are stunning, and the surrounding scenery is truly otherworldly.

I absolutely adored it and I highly encourage others to visit. It felt like stepping back in time, pondering the origins of mountains. This beach provides the perfect explanation - frozen hot lava for our enjoyment. It's incredibly family-friendly and even accessible for three-year-olds. A quick 30-minute visit is enough, but you're welcome to savor it for as long as you'd like since it's free. Surprisingly, it wasn't crowded at all on a summer Saturday. The dirt road leading to the beach isn't perfect, but it's manageable and can be accessed with a regular car.
