Beach description
Sapi Island's beach is small, so it is crowded at weekends and school holidays. Some of its parts, especially near the pier have a sharp slope of 2 to 3 meters in depth. Therefore, lifeguards are also on duty at the beach.
Sapi Island will give an unforgettable experience to fans of snorkeling. The best “collection” of corals awaits tourists on the south side of the island. Here you can watch the amazing variety of fish and giant mollusks. In addition to snorkeling on the island, there is the opportunity to try ziplining (235-meter cable crossing from island to island), scuba diving, sea and walking trips.
Amenities for tourists include toilets, showers, changing rooms, benches, cafes. In addition to buying food and souvenirs in the stores you can rent snorkeling equipment, a beach mat, and a tent.
