The long beach below white cliffs

A long beach of fine white pebbles and sand, beneath towering white limestone cliffs on the southwest coast, famous for its intense blue water.

The November 2015 earthquake destroyed the old staircase and road, and for years it was boat-only. Since 2021 a new reinforced metal staircase has been in place (the descent takes a good while). Bring water and shade — minimal facilities.
