A lovely, secluded beach that can only be reached by boat when the sea is calm, with no land access available.

Charming little beach surrounded by rocks. You can reach the open sea through a small cave or rock bridge. Numerous boats come here to enjoy the beach view, but they don't actually land because they can't pass through the cave. Inside the cave, there's an opening in the ceiling that offers a glimpse of the sky.
