    Hiking

    You can go down by the stairs. This will get you to the gravel beach, but the place can be really crowded.

    Alum Bay is known for its cliffs made of colored sandstone layers that slope vertically to the sea. From yellow to red and brown, all colors can be found there. A spectacular display of colors.
