Wadra Bay
Wadra Bay, also known as Turtle Bay, is a charming crescent-shaped beach with a peaceful atmosphere.
Separated from the coastal road by a row of coconut trees that provide welcome shade for picnic tables and freshwater showers and protected from the prevailing winds by the coral rocks that enclose it, Wadra Bay is ideal for a family halt. The calm water and changing colours of the sea invite you to safely dive there and discover the abundant fauna and flora.
