For the adventurous at heart this beautiful spot is off the beaten track and quite hard to access. A steep (but short) scurry down a cliff brings you to this wildly surprising and Mars-like landscape. Stunning for photos at sunset, it can be viewed from the carpark without having to make the decent onto the beach.
