Tips:
- In high season, due to its small size, the island can be crowded, and you may only be able to complete some activities. Since the island does not experience extreme weather conditions and is open year-round, planning your trip during the off-season will make the journey more rewarding and fun.
- Lockers are available on the beach at an additional cost. Please do not bring valuables if you do not wish to rent a locker.
- If you want peace, booking an overnight stay at Coral Island Resort, the only resort available on the island, is better. Book accommodation early for a beachfront bungalow. Banana Beach is quieter than Long Beach, as the latter is the main activity centre.
- If you want to avoid the crowds, take a short walk to Banana Beach and relax. !
