Nice area with a cave walk through to a private beach. It was the end of the season so the beach bar didn’t have much in stock. There are nice trails along the cliffs.

8 Very good

Awesome beach! The sea is sometimes perfect and clean...and then there are times where is is choppy and dirty with sea weed. The latter stops you from swimming in it really...which makes it pointless for beach holiday makers. Hiwever, Lots of areas, ponds and caves to explore
