The beach is also home to a beautiful lagoon with white sand. Despite its seclusion, the beach is quite popular among visitors.

Getting to the beach is a bit of a challenge, requiring a hike down a 1.2 km long descent with a difference in height of over 100 meters. However, the stunning views from above and the serene environment make the journey worthwhile. Visitors are advised to be careful while making their way down and up the cliff due to the risk of tripping, sliding, and falling rocks.
