The sea has carved the rock into a row of natural waterfront stone arches, as if you were in a natural cathedral, hence the name Cathedral Beach is quite spectacular!

Since it is only possible to visit Las Catedrales during periods of falling sea levels, it is necessary to check the tide tables of the beach. Las Catedrales is a spectacular place to experience passing through narrow corridors between cliffs, crevasses and caves, taking photos as you pass through the huge arches of the rock.

Although it is limited by the tide, when it is close to the ebb tide, in addition to watching the wonders of nature, you can also enjoy sunbathing or bathing on the beach, which is a great place to rest.

When the tide is low, many crystal clear small pools will be formed next to the rock, which will become a "toy" that children like very much, and it is also a good choice to visit with children.

Once you reach the beach, it is best to go to the right when going down the stairs, this area is where the big arch is located, and when the tide starts to rise, it will be the last to be exposed and the first to be flooded.
