It is the sand bath that is most recommended to travelers because of its large facilities, indoor baths and a nice spot for relaxation. Here, you have different choices: the Sand Bath Hot Spring, the Sand Steamed Hot Spring, or the bath in the water's edge. The latter is most enjoyed during low tide.
