... see pic), although rather than climb down the "staircase" to the small beach area, we found our own secluded rock beach nearby. Once we got out of our beach area we realized why no one was there! The water was pretty rough and it was quite a workout to swim over to the cave, but thankfully we made it (and walked back to our beach - ha!).
