    Small bay for swimming and cooling off.

      Small bay for swimming, from the top of the rocks you have a great view.

        Not far away is a small bay for swimming.

          Small, simple bathing platform that can only be reached on foot and is below the busy hiking trail.

            Small, dreamy bathing platform - don't forget your swimming costume and snorkeling equipment

              Here you can cool off in the sea, away from the crowds

                It was too cold for us as the sun hides behind clouds, but in the summer, cooling off is certainly good here.

                  You can go swimming here or rent a kayak and go snorkeling (5 euros an hour)

                    Bathing bay, never overcrowded. It's probably because the water is freezing cold ... and there is no sandy beach. Stop nature...

                          Wonderful place to have a cooling in the sea!

                            November 11, 2022

                            There is a boat launch, a pebble beach and picnic tables.
                            .... and wonderful clear water.

                                  It is best to come by in the early morning hours as there is no rush of tourists and you have the wild nature to yourself. Later in the day, however, the light is better for taking pictures.

                                        Caution: In strong surf, exiting via the ladder is the only recommended option, but even that is not without its risks.
