Visitors are attracted by the wild and unique landscape, much of its beauty is owed to the fact that it's the mouth of the Formosa river. The river nourishes the surrounding mangrove forests, and at the point where it runs into the ocean, there is an area of water that is not quite transparent, but very calm. Coral reefs serve as a natural barrier to the tranquil natural pool.
The Church of St. Benedict, a little structure right by the water, makes this place even more charming. It's open for visits, some couples have beautiful wedding ceremonies here.
