These are the remains of the famous Azure Window rock arch, which collapsed during a storm in spring 2017. Between the countless blocks of rock is a whole system of tunnels and holes, through which you can swim freely. In addition, colorful sponges, schools of fish, crustaceans and sometimes even octopuses.
