This spot is a great to catch some waves on a calm day, but don't be tempted by the stones! You can also spend the day here and take a dip in the ocean, as the beach has a rocky shoreline. Best of all, it's free to enter, so you can enjoy the beach without having to worry about any extra costs.

So photogenic that many visitors snap away without noticing the blue steps that lead up to the church. But don't forget to take a peek at the top right of the door - that's where the bell is located!
