It's characterised by its wide, dark sand beaches and direct access to the Pacific Ocean. The main village itself is small and spread out, with a few local eateries and shops, but the primary draw is the natural beauty and the ocean activities.

For solo travellers and those interested in surfing, staying close to the surf camps is ideal. These places often provide lessons, board rentals, and a social environment where you can easily meet other travellers. You'll be right on the beach, ready to hit the waves at a moment's notice, and many camps offer organised excursions.

Couples looking for a relaxing escape will find the beachfront eco-lodges a great fit. These accommodations typically offer more private bungalows, often with ocean views, and focus on tranquillity and sustainability.
