However, it will be closed until October 31 due to the risk of a landslide.
Theknown for its pirate ship-like wreck will be completely inaccessible to visitors.
The only way to see the beach will be from a above it.
A recent risk assessment was carried out in the area following an incident where an American tourist fell from the cliff and was injured last week.
According to FTN News, officials have said falling rocks and earth movements mean the beach is not currently safe for visitors.
In order to deter the public, a number of barriers have been placed across all entrances leading to the cove.

These barriers will remain in place throughout summer.
It isn’t the first time though that safety has been questioned at the beach.
Back in 2018, the beach was briefly closed after a section of the cliff collapsed and injured several tourists.
And in September 2022, a 5.4 magnitude earthquake resulted in a large landslide, forcing the local authorities to close the beach entirely for some time.
It currently remains unclear if the beach will reopen on October 31 or whether the closure will be continued past that date.
