The Abandoned Sulphur Mine
Situated behind one of the islands most beautiful beaches is this spectacular industrial age ruin. Built in the 1930's when sulphur production was at its height, it worked up until 1959, when the sulphur price plummeted and the operating company went bankrupt. It was put undercharge of a caretaker up until 1985, then left to the elements, the locals and the sun seekers.
There is a road to the bottom, but is usually in a bad state of repair, so unless you are after a 4wd adventure, leave your car up high and apprach on foot, its well worth it for the views! Take some water, swimming costume, a mask and snorkel, and a picnic. On a calm day you can bath in teh hot springs at the northern end of the beach (where the rocks are red and teh water is a bit murky).
