The Beach

Our Take

The main town beach is modest but serves as the jumping-off point for incredible island hopping. Backed by dramatic limestone cliffs. Town beach can be busy with boats. The real treasures are the surrounding islands and lagoons. Multiple island hopping tours available (Tours A, B, C, D). Base yourself here for day trips.
