OVERVIEW

Relax on one of the most beautiful stretches of sand on Cowrie Island, doing whatever you please at your own pace. A picturesque boat ride will bring you to the tropical oasis, where you will be free to enjoy the beach and turquoise waters at your leisure. Named after a marine mollusk that is often used for jewelry and as a protective amulet, Cowrie couldn’t be more relaxing. You might bask in the sun, stroll along the shore and take a refreshing dip in Honda Bay. Coconut palms are abundant if you wish to relax in the shade. If you are feeling more ambitious, snorkeling gear is available. The reef just off shore is teeming with marine life and snorkelers can expect to watch an ever-changing parade of colorful fish, manta rays and green sea turtles. Hundreds of species inhabit these waters so there is no telling what you will observe below the surface.
