About
Quick facts: Crystal-clear turquoise waters welcome swimmers year-round, with visibility reaching over 30 meters on a good day. This spot is a favorite for both locals and tourists who enjoy snorkeling and boat tours.
Highlights: A vibrant underwater world teems just below the surface, home to colorful fish and unique marine life visible even to casual snorkelers. The lagoon’s bright white sandy seabed shining against the deep blue creates an almost surreal, glowing effect under the sun.
Insider tips
- Bring water shoes as rocky areas can be slippery near the shore.
- Use waterproof bags for your electronics to snap underwater photos.
- Pack a light snack and plenty of water; facilities nearby can be pricey and crowded.
- Try walking a bit along the coast to find quieter, scenic spots away from the main beach.
