About Camel Beach

Beautiful turquoises water. Big shallow area with sandy bottom. During summer the low tide is very shallow. Excellent place for beginners. Closer to the mangrooves you will find few, flat rocks. A reef protects the lagoon and can be very shallow if the water level is very low. Several areas before the reef with algues, but no problem for riding. Outside the reef are two islands, fun trip to ride there, but do not step on the island, it is military zone. Be careful with boats, do not ride close to them, since they host divers who will be in the water.
