À propos
Faits rapides: This island is named after the thousands of venomous snakes that once inhabited it, though they are now eradicated to keep visitors safe. It offers a unique view of the surrounding limestone cliffs and turquoise waters that few other spots provide.
Points forts: A striking U-shaped sandbar connects two small islets during low tide, creating a stunning natural bridge that glows white against the emerald sea. Snorkeling in the clear waters reveals vibrant coral gardens teeming with colorful fish, providing an intimate marine experience.
Conseils d'initiés
- Wear water shoes to comfortably walk the sandbar and protect feet from coral and rocks.
- Visit during low tide to fully enjoy the sandbar and swim between islets.
- Bring a waterproof camera or snorkel gear to capture underwater scenes.
- Arrive early to avoid midday crowds and the strongest sun exposure.
