Sightseeing
Voted one of the best beaches in the world, the drive is along a cliff edge, not for the feint hearted but definitely worth it! Climb up to the lookout at the top (approx 45 mins) views are simply stunning.

WATCH THE SUN GO DOWN! amazing views - feels like you are on top of the world! You can see the whole island from here. There is a holy statue to visit and some people scatter loved ones ashes up here. Be careful with kids steep areas and sheer drops.
