Yejele beach
Yejele Beach, which translates to Turquoise Beach, is an idyllic sandy location on Mare Island about 20 minutes away from Tadine. Yejele Beach attracts many visitors with its grainy white sand, transparent azure water, shadowy palm trees and beautiful views. It's especially popular among cruise ship passengers that stop at Tadine. A bus drives from the city to the beach, so it's easy to get here.
