Wild open wind swept beaches set amidst a background of unspoilt uninhabited tropical bush, crystal clear blue skies, the unbroken swish of the ocean as it laps against deserted shores, sand plumes picking up by a steady 20 knot breeze, allow for a kayaking experience you would never forget. Weather here is under the tropical climate and it rarely gets below 24°C/75.2°F. Rainy seasons are between April-May and October-November with intervals of clear blue skies.

The spacious nature of the beach allows for smooth sailing with no one to crowd you, making it just the right paradise getaway needed.
