A very cool beach that's hidden and off of an unmarked dirt road (the right guidebook will take you there). Its beautiful and secluded (about a ten minute steep walk down to the beachfront which leads you to the open sea and white beach. There's also a mini lagoon created by san dunes that's shallow and good for sitting in. A short walk to the left will take you to lava pools containing small fishes. If you continue the hike on teh rocks for about a mile going west, you'll reach a hidden waterfall that's pretty darn cool. Be careful tho, there's a lot of algae on the rocks by the waterfall and i learned it the hard way, slipping and falling twice! The waterfall is big enough for you to stand under it which makes the hike to it worth it. Wear good water shoes if you have them to prevent you from falling on the slippery rocks =)

There's also a cool lighthouse nearby where you can see a lot of exotic birds off the coastline.
