It's not easy to lure in the cliff, because they are too distant from the shore. The cliff was only accessible after walking east along the shore, up and down the reef at the shoreline of steep, slippery and sometimes huge waves slammed, and then rises again until the top of the cliff face to face with the open sea. For those who have been accustomed to it, the way to the cliff could take an hour.
