Magical place, landscape that seems from another world. You have to follow a path next to the information point that takes you directly to the reef and you can swim in it and see the seabed, which is beautiful there.

Charming place!, super nice to visit at sunset, it is possible to go down the path to the reef directly, the views are impressive, a really relaxing place. The road is quite narrow, if you go with a car it is fine, if you go with a caravan the road is complicated.
