In addition to the cape itself, there are many small and beautiful secluded beaches and various islets where one is free to test their cliff-jumping and diving abilities.

These unspoilt gems can only be accessed by sea, either by swimming or by boat from the cape, the logistics of which has effectively protected them from human intervention, keeping them naturally beautiful.

The soft golden sand and clear blue sea makes the cape perfect for discovering the numerous hidden sea caves to be found while swimming, snorkelling and diving.
