Bottom Bay beach

Bottom Bay is partially surrounded by massive cliffs with a rugged surface. But the most characteristic landscape, that makes this beach particularly recognizable in a number of photos, is a huge cliff, projecting above the bay and like supporting it. It protects the wide sandy coastline with golden white sand from the outside world and creates the illusion of being on a separate “uninhabited island”. There is even a coastal grotto, that gives mystery to this area.

• This coastline is characterized by a quiet and calm atmosphere. Here it is possible to do meditation on the coastline with the sound of waves or organize a picnic in the shade of palm trees.
• Bottom Beach also attracts romantics and lovers of colourful photo shoots against the background of incredibly picturesque landscapes of the coastline.
• Large sea turtles and whales sometimes appear in the local waters. More likely to notice the latter from a height of coastal cliffs.
• At the top of the cliffs there is parking lot for cars, but in order to get to the coastline itself, it will be necessary to overcome the difficult descent along the rocky steps.

The waves of the Atlantic on the west coastline of the island are more powerful, than on the protected eastern coast of the island. But swimming at high and even medium waves in Bottom Bay is not recommended. It is not especially required to enter the sea alone. There may be strong undercurrents in this area, and the beach is not controlled by lifeguards. But difficult conditions attract experienced surfers to Bottom Bay. It is only worth taking into account, that the likelihood of a collision with reefs and cliffs, that are found along the entire coastline of the bay.
