Counting the waves…
Tucked away on the northern side of Green Island, this pristine sandy beach offers a tranquil counterpoint to the island's more exposed shores. Accessible only by boat, Green Island North Beach is a haven of peace, where the soft, pale sand slopes gently into water so clear you can count the pebbles on the seabed. This is the spot for those seeking genuine solitude and unspoiled natural beauty. The beach itself is a generous stretch of fine sand, fringed by low-lying scrub and the occasional hardy palm, providing natural shade. The waters here are typically very calm, protected by the island's geography, making it an ideal spot for leisurely swimming and safe exploration. The gentle currents and excellent visibility also make it a fantastic location for snorkeling, with small coral patches and schools of fish easily spotted just a few feet from shore. Spend your day here basking in the quiet, interrupted only by the calls of seabirds or the gentle rustle of leaves. It’s a perfect spot for a picnic, a good book, or simply gazing out at the endless horizon. Green Island North Beach embodies the essence of a deserted island paradise, offering a truly restorative experience away from the hustle and bustle, a place where time seems to slow down.
