- Snorkeling the rocky reefs — The jagged rock outcrops here create crevices and mini-walls dense with reef fish and crustaceans, so snorkeling feels more like a short, concentrated aquarium trip than a long swim. Best by day when visibility is good; bring reef shoes and neutrally buoyant masks because some entry points are rocky.
- Tide-pool safaris at low tide — When the water pulls back the rocks reveal small pools full of blennies, hermit crabs and sea anemones. It’s a micro-ecosystem you won’t get on open sand beaches—great for slow, curious exploration and close-up photos (daytime activity).

- Headland scramble for panoramas and sunsets — A short, slightly rocky climb gives you a dramatic vantage over the cove where volcanic rock meets sand. Sunsets here cut deep silhouettes against the horizon—photographers and anyone who likes a wild, unpolished view will dig it (prime at late afternoon into evening).
- Paddle along the sheltered coves (SUP/kayak) — The rocky fingers break the swell and create calm little inlets perfect for paddling and popping off to snorkel in quiet spots. It feels exploratory rather than crowded—bring a cheap waterproof bag and plan short loops (daytime activity).
- Moonlit walks and stargazing on the rocks — Nights are mostly low-key: the rocky shoreline and lack of bright lights make for peaceful moonlit strolls and surprisingly good stargazing. It’s not club-night material—think slow, salty air and waves as background music. Stay on shore and use a headlamp when needed (evening/night activity).
