If you are heading to this attraction be sure to reserve your stay at one of the finest Marawila hotels the likes of Amagi Beach to get the best out of your holiday.

Time to get a tan!

The beach is also relatively secluded, in that it is rare to find large crowds of people at the beach. The beach is quiet, with just the noise of the crashing waves and gentle tropical breeze echoing through the area. Thus, it is a great location to chill out at or work on getting a perfect tan. The width of the beach is also sufficient for a range of beach activities if you feel like stretching your limbs while chilling on the beach.

Watersports

The waters are also great for water sports, especially diving and snorkelling, given that the waters of the beach are home to some beautiful coral reefs and marine life, as well as a 50-year-old shipwreck. The beach is dotted with various hotels, resorts, boutiques and shops, so finding accommodation and food is not a problem at all.
