This beach is absolutely amazing! It's just a quick stroll away from Playa Porto Marie, and it offers breathtaking views of the surrounding rock formations. You can take the Seru Mateo Trail to reach the top of the hill, or you can opt for an easier walk from the trailhead located at the back of the parking area. It's clear that whoever used to reside here had one of the most desirable locations on the island.

Looking for a beach where you can chill out and enjoy the good view? Look no further than this spot! The sand is clean and the water is a beautiful shade of blue. However, if you're looking to take a dip, you might want to reconsider. This beach isn't exactly ideal for swimming. But, if you're into snorkeling, it's definitely worth checking out. So, grab your gear and get ready to explore the underwater world. Just don't forget to bring your sense of humor, because this beach is definitely not taking itself too seriously.
