About
Quick facts: A set of cliffs with more than 20 rock formations sculpted by the sea over thousands of years. The clear waters reveal sea caves that can only be explored by boat or kayak.
Highlights: The formations with arches and caves reach up to 20 meters high, creating golden reflections at sunset that turn the scenery into a natural painting. A cave called "Pirate's Crevice" holds stories of local smugglers who used these secret paths to hide goods.
Insider tips
- Non-slip footwear is essential for walking on slippery rocks.
- Take advantage of the viewpoints along the trail for amazing panoramic photos.
- Avoid midday to escape the intense heat and the highest number of tourists.
- Consider renting a kayak to explore the caves with more freedom.
