Lounge on the soft white sands of Turtle Sanctuary Beach, a place where blue skies and crystalline waters come together. Snorkel and see a myriad of fish, colorful coral reefs, sea anemones, and even small sharks. With any luck, you may spot the large sea turtles that give this beach its name. Make sure to bring refreshments, as there are no facilities on this isolated beach, reachable only by water taxi.

We were hoping to snorkel and see the turtles but only quiet beach, big rock and nice white sand. Better bring your own food and drink if you want to spend some time there.

Beach was awesome, near the jungle and with very clear water. Snorkeling was really good here. You can go by taxi boat and ask to be caught up at one precise hour. We advise to go in the morning...

On July 19, 2021, I purchased the Turtle Beach-stealth 700 gen 2 wireless headset. The plastic holding the earpiece snapped off the headband. It’s the second headset in two years and they both broke in the same spot. Do not recommend. Invest your money somewhere else.
