- Snorkel the house reef — The coral garden begins a few metres from the sand, so you don’t need a boat to find clear water, healthy corals and loads of small reef fish. Early morning gives the best visibility and fewer day-boats; perfect for lazy half-day sessions with your mask and a rash guard.
- Day dives to nearby walls and reefs — The area drops into deeper, dramatic reefscapes that are a step up from the shore snorkel: swim-throughs, big sponges and dense coral life make it a playground for underwater photographers and experienced divers. Local operators run short boat runs from the beach—ask about currents and visibility before you go.
- Paddle the turquoise lagoon — Rent a kayak or paddleboard and weave between tiny coves, mangrove fringes and stilt houses. The water is glassy most

- Paddle the turquoise lagoon — Rent a kayak or paddleboard and weave between tiny coves, mangrove fringes and stilt houses. The water is glassy most mornings, so it’s a mellow way to explore hidden corners, birdlife and get close to shore reefs without disturbing them.
- Hilltop viewpoint trek — A short, sweaty climb through jungle opens onto the classic panoramic shot: the crescent lagoon, scattered stilt bungalows and steep green hills. Sunrise or late afternoon light transforms the colours—bring water and a camera; the path is short but steep in places.
- Night sky, quiet bungalows and (sometimes) bioluminescence — With almost no light pollution the Milky Way is vivid from the beach, and many nights are sheer stillness—lanterns reflecting on the water. On very calm nights you may also see plankton glow around paddles or when swimming; it’s hit-or-miss, but when it happens it’s unforgettable.
