Important Note


You might want to bring your elderly loved ones here, but be warned that during low tide the bancas cannot dock closely to the beach. That means passengers will have to walk a distance of about a hundred meter across waist-deep water. It would be a hassle for tourists, especially the elderly ones. If you have heavy stuff, it would add to the difficulty.

You are also advised to bring your own food. There is only a small store at the beach and might not have everything you need. You just have to make sure, though, that you leave no trash there. Help protect Tuka Marine Park.
