This secluded little beach can be reached by pedestrians only, which makes it great. There's a place called Japanese garden nearby. Just down the stairs through the arch in a picturesque old stonewall and you will be there. The sunsets are beautiful there. Snacks can be bought from a cafe nearby. There's a red flag so swimming is prohibited but it looks like it is there since there are no lifeguards around.

Do walk around when you are there. Even without a guide you can give yourself a nice little tour around Portuguese quarter. The church is only open on certain days but there are lots of nice colourful buildings, squirrels running up and down palm trees, stairs with painted tiles and so on. It might be a good idea to stop at Tea Trunk for a nice authentic cup of tea with lactose free gelato.
