Beach description
It is a long, drop-like cape, surrounded on all sides by a sandy beach. The sand is white and yellow. However, there is often a lot of garbage on the beach after tides or small storms.
The sand on the beach is not centrally cleaned, as the place lies outside the direct easy access area and is not accessible by roads. The only way to get there is by public transport, which is why temporary tours are arranged here more often.

Best Time for a Beach Vacation in Suriname
Suriname, with its warm tropical climate, offers a delightful beach experience. However, to maximize your enjoyment, consider the following periods for your visit:
- Dry Season (February to April): This is the prime time for beachgoers. The weather is sunny and rain is minimal, making it perfect for sunbathing and swimming.
- Mid-August to Mid-November: Another dry period that is ideal for those looking to avoid the peak tourist season. The beaches are less crowded, providing a more serene atmosphere.
It's important to note that Suriname's coastal waters can be murky due to the sediment from the Amazon River. For clearer waters, head to the western part of the country where the beaches of Galibi and Albina boast clearer waters, especially during the dry seasons mentioned above.
