Why is it called "Lovers' Cape"?
The name "Lovers' Cape" is said to be derived from a local folktale.
Long ago, a fisherman’s girlfriend, who was in a long-distance relationship, rang a bell every morning facing the sea, thinking about her boyfriend whom she could not meet, and that's how it came to be called that.
