Malcolm's Road beach

This location was undoubtedly the highlight of my entire trip. It is a must-see spot for any traveler visiting the island. The drive down to the beach may be challenging for inexperienced drivers, and I strongly advise against taking a small rental car. The road is rough and can easily cause damage to your vehicle. To avoid any financial repercussions, I suggest using a skilled driver and an all-wheel drive or 4X4 with high clearance. Alternatively, you can park at a safe location and walk down to the beach. Once you arrive, you will find a secluded and peaceful beach with stunning views. There are no amenities such as restrooms, running water, or lifeguards, but there is a gazebo for shade. The beach is typically deserted, but be aware of the cameras monitoring the area. The beach boasts both natural and artificial reefs, making it a unique spot for diving. Maps and visuals are posted to guide you through the area. I discovered this gem through a fellow traveler's recommendation and highly recommend making the journey to experience it for yourself.

This beach is truly stunning and peaceful. The snorkeling experience is exceptional and not to be missed. Although we managed to navigate the road in our compact Suzuki Swift, I suggest parking at the red gate near the tower and walking the final distance if you are driving a smaller vehicle or not comfortable with challenging terrain.

What a sight for sore eyes! The water is simply breathtaking and the snorkeling experience is top-notch. However, don't let your excitement get the best of you - the beach entrance is as rocky as a mountain goat's playground, with no sand in sight. But fear not, if you're willing to take a stroll to the left or right, you'll find some sandy spots. The drive to get there isn't too shabby either, with a couple of bumpy rides once you pass the Amanyara turn off. And if you're thinking of taking a tiny car, go for it, we've seen someone else do it. The cherry on top? Only a handful of other people were there during our visit. Trust me, the drive is worth it.

The journey to the beach may prove slightly challenging due to the unpaved roads, particularly if you are driving a compact car. However, it is still manageable to navigate through with a slow and cautious approach, swerving around potholes and large rocks. Patience is key, but the stunning views and crystal clear waters for snorkeling make it all worthwhile. The man-made reefs are an absolute delight, teeming with a variety of colorful fish and even the occasional stingray sighting. Although it can be a secluded spot, it may attract a few visitors such as a large family group of 15 who arrived in a van. Alternatively, some opt to park their cars at the entrance gate and walk the remaining distance, which takes approximately 20 minutes. This hidden gem is a must-visit destination on the island, and the presence of surveillance cameras in the area provides a sense of security.

This awe-inspiring beach boasts an incredible snorkeling experience, with an abundance of reef balls that have been carefully placed to recreate a vibrant coral reef near the shore. However, due to the recent rainfall, the road leading to the beach may not be suitable for your standard rental sedan. We opted to park our car on the side of the road after the resort turnoff and walked a mile to reach the beach stairs. Although it was quite a trek, the breathtaking views and crystal-clear waters made it all worthwhile, even in the scorching afternoon heat.
