Praia pequena de onde saem as embarcações e mergulhadores para a pesca. Maior parte do peixe das embarcações é para forneces restaurantes e comercio. Praia engraçada pelo seu formato (baia) sem ondas ou ventos. No local ter cuidado para não colocar as toalhas em frente aos barcos que entram e saem várias vezes.

A very charming little bay, with busy local fishermen, colorful small ships and boats.
