Don’t forget to pack a towel to dry off after swimming and snorkeling in the crystal-clear waters of Pileh Lagoon and Loh Samah Bay. Sunscreen is crucial to prevent sunburn and ensure a comfortable experience.

Lastly, comfortable beachwear will allow you to fully learn about the natural beauty of this tropical paradise.
