8 Very good

The beach isn't great; there's barely enough room to set up a campsite, and the only rocks available are few and far between. The waves can be unpredictable, so snorkelling isn't really an option. It all depends on the day. There's a ladder to get down to the water, but the cove is shallow, so it's not much use.

This secluded beach is the perfect spot for snorkeling, with its crystal-clear waters. The shallow cove is ideal for exploring the aquatic life below the surface.

That place is an ideal spot for scuba diving. Its crystal-clear waters make it perfect for exploring the depths of the ocean. The abundance of colorful fish and other marine life make it a great place to observe and take pictures. The location also offers plenty of other activities, such as swimming, kayaking, and snorkeling. All in all, this beach is a great destination for anyone looking to dive into the depths of the sea.
