The main street running parallel to the beach is dotted with dive shops, local eateries, and a few small shops selling souvenirs and essentials. You'll find the jetty, where boats arrive and depart, also located along this stretch, making it very convenient.Couples looking for a relaxing escape will appreciate the direct access to the beach and the generally quiet atmosphere. Many accommodations offer private balconies or decks with ocean views, superb for enjoying sunsets. The convenience of having dining options and boat tours readily available means less time planning and more time enjoying the island's natural beauty.For solo travellers, staying in this central area offers easy access to dive operators and opportunities to meet other travellers. Group excursions to nearby islands like Kakaban and Sangalaki depart from the main jetty, which is always within walking distance.
