White Beach
Best time to visit
Late afternoon before sunset is perfect to enjoy cooler temperatures and catch the lantern release lighting up the sky. Dry season months from November to April offer ideal weather and calmer seas.
Budget tips
There is no entry fee to access the beach itself, but small fees may apply for lantern rentals during sunset events. Booking lantern releases in a group can reduce individual costs.

About
Quick facts: Stretching nearly four kilometers, this beach features some of the finest powdery white sand with grains so fine they feel like flour. At sunset, the shore fills with locals and tourists who release colorful parol lanterns into the sky.
Highlights: The soft white sand stays cool even under the afternoon sun, making barefoot walking comfortable all day. Unique to this area, the weekly parol lantern release ceremony offers a magical display of lights over the water at dusk.
Insider tips
- Wear flip-flops or barefoot to enjoy the cool, fine sand without discomfort.
- Head to the northern section near Station 3 for fewer crowds and better sunset views.
- Avoid peak midday when the sun is strongest; mornings and late afternoons are more comfortable.
- Bring a waterproof bag to protect electronics from sand and seawater splashes.
