This beach is absolutely stunning! There's a stairway that leads down to it, and when we were there, it was only populated by locals.

Be mindful of the powerful waves, as they can quickly pull you into the sea with rocks on either side - a potentially fatal situation. Despite this, the beach is stunning and you're likely to have it all to yourself. Use the stairs instead of the ladder, as it is broken and not reliable. Don't expect to find any shops, toilets, or other amenities. Despite not being suitable for swimming, this is one of the most attractive beaches I've ever visited.

This beach is stunning, but swimming is not advised. The riptides here are incredibly strong and can be dangerous. Additionally, the ocean floor drops off quickly, making it a hazardous area for swimming. However, it is still worth visiting to appreciate its beauty. The ladder was a bit precarious, but we managed to get down without any problems.

Visiting this beach is a great experience. The last part of the journey requires a ladder to descend the steep terrain.

This beach is a real gem. The sand is black and coarse, and it's a safe spot for fishing boats to dock. I visited for the first time today and, apart from one friendly man working on his boat, there was nobody else around - it was sheer bliss. Since it's a bay, the current and waves were quite strong. If you want to go in the water, the best spot is near the boats, as it's the least unpredictable part. Just make sure you don't wear stilettos, as you'll need to climb down (and back up) a bamboo ladder.
