The beach with sulphur springs

A small cove beneath white cliffs and pines on the north coast, where natural sulphur springs well up into the sea, giving a milky-turquoise colour and a faint sulphur smell.

It is reputed to be a natural "spa" — the sulphur is said to benefit skin and muscles (a popular belief, not clinically established). It is small and can fill up.
