Honeymoon Beach
Honeymoon Beach is another beautiful private island located on Turtle Island. It covers 500 acres and is perfect for couples because of its bordering rocky headlands, lush rainforest, and white sand.

Long Beach offers nighttime spearfishing and the only thing you should remember is that it is not a good idea to swim during low tide because there are stingrays that hide there in the shallow waters.
Horseshoe Bay
Horseshoe Bay is located on Matagi Island. Its name is obvious because of the shape it has and we can say this is a secluded splendor you may want to experience. Matagi is actually an extinct volcano. The crater fell away and formed the iconic shape of the beach. This is a perfectly safe destination and its views are breathtaking.
