The shuttle and ferry pick-up point is conveniently located near the beach. It's the perfect spot to unwind after a long walk. I enjoyed dipping my toes in the refreshing water. However, be cautious of the seagulls as they can be quite assertive.

The beach is undoubtedly one of the most stunning locations on the planet, boasting breathtaking views that are sure to leave you in awe. However, it's important to keep an eye out for the bumble bees and seagulls, as they can be quite aggressive when it comes to food. Despite this, I would absolutely return to this beach and spend even more time soaking up its natural beauty.
