Puka Shell Beach

Puka Shell Beach is a beautiful beach known for its unique sand composition. The sand here is thicker and mixed with corals, which gives it a distinctive feel compared to other beaches. However, some visitors may find the hard rock sand uncomfortable underfoot. The beach is less crowded than others in the area, making it a peaceful spot for visitors.

The beach is accessible via a Hop On Hop Off bus or by renting an e-trike. If traveling alone, a trike from the town can cost around P250 each way, but prices may be more affordable when traveling in a group. The beach is also reachable by land trip, which some visitors prefer due to the cheaper food options available on the main road compared to the island hopping area.

The beach caters to locals, and visitors can expect to find local weather establishments with lower prices than at White Beach. The beach is free to enter, and visitors can bring a picnic mat if they purchase something from the local stores. Visitors should be aware of the presence of sea snakes in the area.
