Gili Meno Beach
You step off the wooden boat onto sand so fine it squeaks beneath your feet. Within minutes you're wading into water the temperature of bathwater, watching green turtles surface for air just beyond the shallows. No cars, no hawkers—just bicycles leaning against palm trunks and the rhythmic slap of waves on worn timber docks.
