Arac Beach
8 zaydee

We had a fantastic day trip to this beach. Just be aware that the road leading to the resort is quite narrow. However, the resort offers parking spaces for guests. The area may not be very large, but it is well-maintained and clean. They serve delicious food and drinks, but you are also allowed to bring your own (with corkage fee). If you wish to stay overnight, they have casitas available, and they even have a function hall for events. As for activities, you can enjoy floating on a balsa, riding a water pedal bike, kayaking, and even take a boat service to miracle island.

Sugar Beach

This stunning beach is an absolute gem, and it holds a special place in my heart as my favourite destination in Southeast Asia. Although it has been a few years since my last visit, I still remember the tranquility and serenity of this place. What sets it apart from other beaches is the absence of any development on the beachfront. It's just you, the sand, and the sea, with a lush palm tree line providing the perfect backdrop. The diving here is also fantastic, and if you happen to be Swiss German, you'll find plenty of like-minded individuals to share your experiences with. Overall, this is a truly remarkable beach that is well worth a visit.

Poblacion Beach

The public beach of the city is a pristine spot, especially when compared to other public beaches in the country. What sets it apart is its location, which is conveniently situated near the city center. As the sun sets, the beach comes alive with a vibrant display of multi-colored lights, casting an enchanting spell on the entire boulevard. It's a perfect place to unwind and indulge in some open-air dining while soaking in the tranquil atmosphere.
