Hiking

Declared a Natural Monument, a long sandy area where the tide hides some landscape treasures that we can only enjoy when it goes down. Arches over thirty meters high reminiscent of the flying buttresses of a cathedral, caves tens of meters long, corridors of sand between blocks of rock. The result of the ancient forces of the sea and the wind, in the best of its versions.

Hiking

At high tide, the beach can only be admired from high above the cliffs. There, among other things, a beautiful and above all barrier-free wooden plank path with viewpoints leads along

Hiking

At low tide, there is the possibility to walk barefoot between the rocks and in the high caves, and discover intertwined stone arches. At high tide, the beach can be viewed from the high cliffs.
