This place is ideal for you to spend an extremely peaceful time while listening to the typical noises of these islands and if you are lucky enough to spot any of the monkeys or animals that live there.
You can also enjoy sunsets that only a few people have managed to see from this point, since being a little uninhabited, visitors who come experience things that few people have experienced.
In addition to having extremely calm waters, you can do water activities such as:
