03 · Location

In context.

A small, sheltered cove in volcanic cliffs within a protected natural area, with fine sand and a fringing reef. Water is usually calm and clear, suited to swimming and snorkelling around the reef edges. An offshore reef break can produce rideable waves on a WSW swell but is often flat in summer, with rocks a hazard. No lifeguards are present; vehicle access requires a toll, and entry over the reef is safer at higher tide.
