The places worth building a day around
Lagoons, sandbars and beaches that repay an early start — and the ones best left to the afternoon.
Big Lagoon
A channel between three-hundred-metre cliffs, entered by kayak. Go on the earliest boat you can.
Nacpan Beach
Four kilometres of golden sand and a twin cove at the far end. Quietest before ten.
Secret Lagoon
Swim through a crevice at low tide to a beach walled in on every side.
Marimegmeg Beach
The sunset everyone walks out for, with beach bars along the sand.
