Practical

Approximately 8-10 m on sand. A reef outcrop lies in front of the hotels; anchor north or south of it, using the trees behind the hotels as a reference (SEAP). Much of the area is national park, and periodic crackdowns thin out the beach restaurants. Transport to town or the airport can be arranged.
