To get to the island, you have to go by boat, jet-ski, kayak or even, depending on your fitness, go swimming 🏊‍♀️. That's because the sea is very calm, without big waves, making it easier to swim, but don't take the risk if you're not physically prepared!

Going to the island is to have a moment of peace, nature and meditation. There aren't many tourists, so the small strip of sand (about 60 meters wide) is a peaceful space.
