The beach is surrounded by lush green trees and has crystal clear water, making it perfect for swimming and sunbathing. Afternoon can be spent at the Half Moon Beach, which is known for its crescent shape. The beach is also a great spot for snorkelling. In the evening, head to the Namaste Yoga Farm, a peaceful and serene place that offers yoga classes and meditation sessions.

Recommendations
