After reading positive reviews, I expected a beautiful beach with interesting views. Unfortunately, the beach was dirty, with many yachts docked in the bay, blaring music. I wouldn't say it's quieter there than the Blue Lagoon, but it's definitely uglier. If you're looking for peace and quiet, it's better to wander a bit away from the Blue Lagoon and stay on that side of the island and lie on the rocks. It'll be cleaner and prettier.
