A small path on the right side of the beach leads to small cliffs and several islets, including the Castro Pelado Islet and a group of four other islets further to the east, adding to the overall scenic beauty of the location.

During the summer season, visitors can avail of a designated parking area, ensuring convenience for those who choose to drive. In addition, the beach offers amenities like a beach bar where visitors can unwind and enjoy a refreshing drink.
