Sao Beach has picture-perfect white powdery sand, jungle backdrop and so many tall palm trees where you can sit and enjoy a fresh coconut along with a few restaurants on the beach where you may relax in a lounge chair or head over to the beach to engage in water sports. But what makes this destination quite popular is its large variety of marine life which you will be able to witness if you go snorkelling in the ocean. The beach's southern and northernmost stretches of tropical vegetation are equally lovely. Many large trees that have been around for a very long time can be found here. Additionally, when you walk through this virgin forest, you can hear wild birds singing a variety of lovely sounds.
