Creator's Key Takeaways

It's not a polished resort style beach. It's raw, real, and full of character.

The bathroom situation is rough. It's dirty, outdated, and frankly, it needs serious attention.

It's still a very nice beach. Quiet, scenic, and surrounded by green hills, but it might not be the showstopper some people make it out to be.

For me personally, I preferred Ki Beach. It had that fun, vibrant atmosphere and the kind of authentic experience that I look for when I travel.

Creator's Tips & Advice

✓Bring your own snorkel gear to Koki Beach to explore the reef just feet from the shore.
✓If visiting Megan's Bay, bring a beach towel and use the trees for shade to save money on rentals.
✓Expect a wait for food at Megan's Bay during peak hours as there is only one dining option.
✓Use shared safari taxis from the cruise port for a flat rate of around $15 per person each way.

Crowds at Koki Beach — It gets crowded, especially when cruise ships are in port, giving it a disorganized look.
Water clarity at Megan's Bay — Don't expect crystal clear water; it's clean but not as clear as the hype suggests.
Cost of transportation — Expect to pay around $15 per person each way for taxis from the cruise port.
