Old Airport Beach

This is probably the nicest beach near town and is only a 10 minute walk away. You can either pay to get into the resort and enjoy a nice sandy beach with natural straw shade umberellas or walk straight past and find a free patch of sand, although the beach in that area is not even really a beach. From the resort you can take a path through the reeds to a sandbank, from where you walk over rocks until you can swim through a gap in the coral to explore the reef. It is worth the effort, as you will reach the dive sites where there are drop-offs and some nice fish, although the coral is mostly white.
