The landscape itself is littered with hidden coves, large bays, steep cliffs stained with red volcanic rock, black basalt, and sandstone. The aforementioned growing rock formations add mystery to this strange blue-green body of water. The ocean’s colors appear painted, an ideal backdrop for an unforgettable yachting vacation.
