💡 Visit just before sunset when the surrounding area is quiet—it's a sombre but respectful stop, not a photo op.
💡 Look for the stall with the longest queue of locals—that's where the food is best. Bring small bills for easier transactions.
💡 Skip the middle section near the lifeguard towers—go south toward the airport for quieter spots and fewer vendors.
💡 Buy tickets online the night before—queues at the gate are long and prices are higher. Bring reef shoes for the concrete paths.
