The Nuance
Once arriving at Kilo Beach, the first thing that tourists may notice is none other than the exotic white sandy shoreline. Even though it looks pretty and has a soft texture, some trashes are seen on it. The number of visitors is considered high, so the local government has some issues when it comes to the maintenance and cleaning. Despite the fact, the shady trees and beautiful panoramas would satisfy all visitors. Plus, the sea looks wonderful with its calm waves. Even local boats are often seen in that area.

Exploring Kilo Beach
The most alluring feature in Kilo Beach is none other than the white sandy shoreline. The soft texture of sand provides comfort to those who conduct beach walking. Not to mention visitors are able to enjoy stunning sea scenery while beach walking. The calm and crystal clear sea astonishes everyone too! Tourists can even see fishes clearly from the shoreline. It would be great if they get in the water to enjoy swimming and snorkeling. As for snorkeling, tourists should prepare the equipment beforehand.

What is more? Aside from beach walking and water sports, tourists can enjoy other fun activities in Kilo Beach. For instance, they should visit the nearby pier and go fishing in that spot. For those who don’t carry a fishing rod, it is recommended to approach villagers and borrow one from them. Most of the time, local fishermen are seen on the beach as well. That means tourists can borrow the fishing equipment from these people, too.

Another recommended thing to do in Kilo Beach is camping. The shoreline has several good spots to build the tent, but it requires a local’s concern to conduct camping in that area.
