It is renowned for its unique black volcanic sand and the formation of natural pools, which are carved from lava rocks and filled with seawater. Visitors can enjoy activities like swimming and snorkeling to explore the vibrant marine life. The serene environment offers a chance for relaxation and tranquility, with breathtaking views of the coastline. The beach is a result of thousands of years of volcanic activity and erosion, making it a geological marvel.
