This beach is stunning, with its deep sand and some areas of shelter. We camped there, but the night winds were a bit too strong. The snorkeling was great and the dunes were full of lush vegetation. As others have mentioned, the road down is a bit precarious, but a 4WD should get you to the sand's edge without any issues.

This secluded beach is accessible via a steep and difficult path, taking around five minutes to traverse.

Getting to this beach is no easy feat, as the path down is quite steep and rugged in some areas, with interesting signs of erosion on the soft rocks. The entrance is not clearly marked, but you can find it on Google Maps - 8G67X8P4+3Q. The beach is quite large, with a combination of sand and stones, and a few small, tranquil lagoons that remain calm even when the waves are high elsewhere. You won't find many people here, and most of them are usually in the nude. If you're looking for a peaceful beach without any amenities, this one is worth the effort.

Reaching the beach can be a bit of a challenge, but it's worth it - it's a stunningly beautiful, secluded spot. If you're looking for a place to go skinny-dipping, you'll likely have it all to yourself.
