The locals highly recommended White Beach as the top beach on the island, so I had high expectations, especially with so many other beautiful beaches nearby. However, I was disappointed to find that it was filled with rocks, many of the accommodations were closed, and there was an overwhelming amount of solicitation. Even while having lunch at a restaurant, multiple individuals would approach my table trying to sell various trinkets or tours. It seemed like every 40 seconds, someone would stop me while I was walking around.
This beach stole my heart! I absolutely fell in love with it during our visit. It offers a serene and tranquil atmosphere with fewer crowds. I couldn't resist extending my stay and even took the time to sketch its beauty. If you plan on swimming here, exercise caution, especially if you're not accustomed to handling powerful waves. Additionally, finding your way here can be a bit challenging unless you know about the hidden path. But I'll give you a clue: keep an eye out for the lush side of the road. You'll discover a small entrance, and voila!
Upon our arrival, we were informed of an access fee to reach the beach, which was rather unexpected. Although there were no signs indicating this charge, we were obliged to pay nonetheless. Unfortunately, the state of the beach was quite disappointing as it appeared to be quite dirty. However, we discovered that there were alternative beaches nearby such as Dulangan beach, which not only was pristine, but also had free access.
