    Wow! What a beautiful spot to stop and have a swim but we didn’t have our bathers with us so we just enjoyed watching people in the water swimming and snorkeling. The water is so clear! Toilets...

    Incredible views with lovely snorkelling. Some shade under a big tree and welcome bathrooms. Not to be missed on Rotto.

    Take a bike up to the basin and have a swim in the pristine water. It seems a safe swimming spot with well-protected areas to avoid going out too far.
