Many think the name of the bay comes from the biting "sandflies" (flies). This is wrong. It was named after the sand, which, given the windy nature of this coast, flies from the high dunes that surround the bay.
A small island located at the northeastern end of the bay is known for its shape as Lion Rock or Lion's Head Rock. A striking landmark.
