The water here is an almost unbelievable shade of turquoise, so clear you can spot small fish darting around your ankles. Swimming is a dream in the lagoon's calm, warm embrace, making it perfect for leisurely dips or extended snorkeling sessions right off the sand. The sand itself is incredibly fine and soft, ideal for simply laying out and soaking in the sun.
