When viewed from above, this peninsula forms the shape of a dolphin tail. Chalky white sands form a soft walkway into the ocean and a two-minute walk through the lush green shrubs leads visitors to a more secluded stretch of coast. A former reef, the peninsula is home to a variety of interesting rock formations and, at its tip, you’ll even find some ancient tombs which can be visited for free.
