South bay beach

South Bay Beach is close to Repulse Bay Beach. As it is surrounded by mountains and there is no direct access, people usually get off at Repulse Bay Beach and walk for about 30 minutes. The more remote location makes this beach quieter than the others but it also became a big hit for foreign tourists due to its clear water and soft sand. South Bay Beach also offers SUP yoga, kayak and other water sports experiences. If you don't mind taking a short trip, you can easily spend a day just chilling and enjoying the tranquillity of South Bay Beach.
