About
Quick facts: Endless waves of soft white sand create a desertlike landscape that stretches over 12 square kilometers. The dunes shift naturally with the winds, making each visit a unique experience as the scenery subtly changes over time.
Highlights: Golden sunlight at sunset turns the sand dunes into a warm, glowing sea of orange and red hues that's perfect for photography. Try spotting the rare pink sand patches formed from crushed coral and shells, a surprising splash of color in this sandy expanse.
Insider tips
- Wear sturdy sandals or shoes to handle hot and shifting sand comfortably.
- Capture the best photos from the highest dunes just before sunset.
- Avoid midday when the sun is strongest and sand temperature peaks.
- Visit on weekdays to experience fewer tourists and more tranquility.
