tips_and_updates Travel Tips

The entrance to the beach is through a narrow cave passage — not suitable for those with mobility limitations. Arrive early for parking, especially on weekends. The beach gets crowded by mid-morning in peak season. Swim only in calm conditions — the reef break creates powerful rips. Beach vendors offer fresh coconuts and simple meals.
