The beach is quite picturesque, however, it appears that it can only be reached by boat.

Ah, yet another stunning sandy cove that requires a bit of adventure to reach. Unless you happen to have a trusty rappelling rope or a trusty kayak, that is. But hey, the views from the surrounding cliffs are totally worth the effort. Who needs easy access anyway? It's all about the thrill of the journey, right?

This charming little beach, though small and secluded, offers a unique experience for those who seek it out. Accessible only by kayak or small boat, it provides a sense of adventure and exclusivity. When the tide is high, there is no sand to be found, but this does not detract from the beauty of the warm waters, which are surrounded by sandy rock cliffs. In short, this beach may not be perfect, but it is certainly worth a visit for those who appreciate natural beauty and a touch of seclusion.
