Here one could visit the remnants of fishermen huts built from black lava blocks. The otherworldly landscape and the huts were worth a visit by themselves, but I had an interest in the points too. A small swell was running at this side of the peninsula and created the odd breaking waves at the reefs. It was hard to say how the points would perform during a bigger and cleaner swell. At the moment there was only a slabby wave popping up once in a while at one reef which I watched for a while but soon deemed un-surfable (at least for me).
On the way down to the beach a group of quad drivers had passed me – probably a guided tour for tourists - and despite not liking that sort of vehicles very much now I wished I had one to go – drive – for further exploration along the coast with a surfboard strapped on the thing. By foot this would have been a very strenuous and lengthy expedition with very small chance for reward.
So, I walked back to the parking, returned to the main road and drove eastward. A couple of kilometres further on I turned off onto a dirt track again and followed it coast-ward. The coast was quite a bit away from the main road here and track was a bit rough, but it was just drivable with my van.
