This beach near Cuchia is great for people with large dogs, as it is dog-friendly. There are two routes to get there: a longer, but flatter path, and a shorter, but steeper one.

Start your day off right with a hearty breakfast before taking a trip downstairs. It's definitely worth the effort, and even better, your pup can join in on the fun!

The beach was nothing short of amazing. The views were breathtaking and the sand was soft and inviting. This beach was a sight to behold. The scenery was truly spectacular, with the sun glistening off the crystal-clear water. The sand was smooth and inviting, beckoning you to take off your shoes and sink your toes in. It was the perfect spot to relax and take in the beauty of nature.

Situated at the foot of the cliffs, making access a bit more complicated for those with limited mobility. There are two ways to get there - a quick but difficult route, or a 10-15 minute walk along the cliff edge, which requires caution due to the height. Despite the challenging access, it's well worth the effort - it's a peaceful and tranquil spot.

This place is a hidden gem. Getting there is a bit of an adventure, but it's well worth it for the stunning sunsets. If you're looking for a peaceful and secluded spot, this is the place!
