As is often the case, this waterfall is called “Victoria Falls”. Near the Atlantic coast you hike inland. About 30 minutes from the road. There are various natural freshwater pools for swimming along the way. A cool change, because there are hardly any beaches on the Atlantic, just rocky cliffs. The waterfall is beautiful to look at.
