The one beach looks to the south whereas the second beach faces the north.. A narrow lane of strand seperates the two beach with a golden coloured sand. There are a few trees for shade. The homonymous little church is built on the reddish coloured rocks and under the church there is a small pier for people to tie their boats on or to dive into the deep blue water.
