The End of the World

Highlight • Viewpoint

The End of the World is not as bad as the name might indicate. Actually it's an amazing viewpoint right at a 35 feet high cliff that is perfectly suited for catching sunsets. If the ocean is calm, it's a famous spot for locals to go cliff jumping. Please don't jump yourself if you don't have any experience!
