The sand pit is a naturally formed area and not an old quarry. Its seaside looks show traces of the ocean’s presence millions of years ago. This is evidenced by the presence of a very ancient coral reef and many tiny seashells in its sand. It is a highly appreciated place. The place is protected, and it is forbidden to collect sand there.
