The Golden Waterfall is a small but striking cascade where water flows over a golden-hued rock face, creating a surreal, metallic sheen. The color comes from iron and other minerals leaching from the abandoned gold mine above, staining the rocks and water a rusty gold. Located along the coastal road, the waterfall plunges into a pool before flowing into the sea. It's a quick stop for photos, and the contrast of the golden water against the green hills and blue ocean makes it a memorable sight.
