Golden sand and clear water draw crowds to scenic Fig Tree Bay, an umbrella-dotted stretch of beach with an offshore island you can swim to.

Stretching for almost 2,000 feet (600 meters), Nissi Beach is a Blue Flag beach that attracts droves of sun worshipers with its soft sands and crystalline waters. It's a great place to go swimming, with relatively calm and shallow waters closer to the shore that make it popular with families.
