Heading to this beach requires a bit of effort, but it's totally worth it! Start by parking your car on San Diego Street and walk for 15 minutes until you reach the iron gate in the photo. Then, carefully make your way down the cliff until you come across the yellow fence. There are some ropes there, but don't rely on them too much. It's best to visit when the sun is in the afternoon, so you can enjoy the view from the cliff. Once you're there, you'll know it was all worth it!

This hidden paradise is one of the most beautiful beaches I've ever seen. With its 700 meters of black sand, lack of people and clothing being optional, it's a true gem. Don't be fooled by the fences that tell you it's closed, it's not - just don't forget to bring your shoes!

Reaching this beach is quite the adventure! Although it can be a bit tricky to get to, Google Maps will direct you to the north end, but there is a bit of a hike to the parking lot. However, if you're up for a challenge, you can take the path that goes down right up from the beach. It's a steep and rocky descent, but totally doable. Once you make it down, you'll be rewarded with a stunning view. The black sand is so beautiful and there's hardly anyone around - it's like your own private paradise. The 30-minute trek is worth it for this incredible beach experience.

Not an easy place to get to - the steep cliffs act as a barrier, making it difficult to get down to the ocean. Climbing without experience or local guidance is not recommended. Even if you can't get down to the beach, the view from the top of the cliffs is still stunning. It feels like being in another world, but getting to the beach is a challenge.

A bit difficult to access, as you have to take some dodgy routes, stairs and cliffs. But the view is worth it - the scenery is stunning and the waters are crystal clear. The waves are big, yet I haven't seen anyone surfing. It's called a natural beach, but they mean naturally nude people.
