"A secluded beach with strong waves. A quick dip is fine, but not suitable for swimming. Don't underestimate the dangerous currents!"
Jun 4, 2026"Beautiful black sand beach, secluded at the end of a long, 15-20 minute drive along a corrugated dirt track. The end of the world. You can't go any further. Easily accessible by car in first and second gear. Well worth the trip!"
