A hidden tropical gem that only reveals itself during low tide, this sandbank feels like your own slice of paradise. Start at Warere Beach Resort, walk down to the beach and turn right - keep going until you spot the stretch of white sand shimmering in the sea. If luck’s on your side, you’ll even find starfish lounging in the shallow waters. Bonus tip: go just as the tide begins to drop for maximum time on the sandbank, and don’t linger too long - when the tide returns, it rises quickly, so once you notice water levels rising - head back.
