These sandstone protrusions, which are sculpted into steep cliffs, can reach 25 m in altitude. These sandstone reliefs which are subjected to the simultaneous actions of rainfall and wind factors, thus creating real arched structures, under which visitors can walk, taking the winding path that runs along the coast.
