If you want to see something other than mass tourism, this is the right place for you. The beautiful, not too long hike (quite challenging) through the gorge of the same name ends here. A rather pebbly beach, with a few tamarisks and wooden shacks from the locals, is the reward for the effort. While there are ubiquitous jeep safaris in the better-known side bay, here you can usually find everyone.

Hiking

I am here every year, a wonderful place to relax and unwind. A place of memory, love, connection ... many tears for me. Here I can be myself and think of past years with gratitude
