  • You can also visit Semeti Beach which is also dubbed as Krypton Beach. You are not going to find Superman here but rocks that are shaped like pyramid and resemble crystal box in Planet Krypton. The most interesting part is that the rocks stand firmly in the middle of the ocean. Thus, it feels like you are in Egypt Pyramids when spending time in this beach. Make sure to wear the right shoes to survive rocky and rough path.
  • If you are looking for chill and thrill, you can visit Setangi Beach. The location is secluded so you won’t encounter many people during your visit to this beautiful beach.
