💡 Tips

  • Bring enough cash with you, as card payment machines at the local beach bars can be unreliable.
  • The approach road through the wetlands can be uneven in places, so drive carefully.
  • The shallow, sandy water goes out very far, making it an excellent and safe spot for families with young children.
  • Pair your beach day with a trip to the nearby Patok Lagoon to see the traditional wooden stilt houses.
