About Harminder Bay Beach
Further away from the jetty, the serene Harminder Bay beach stretches all along the coast. This beach is a beautiful sight at high tide, with clear blue waters and plenty of shade from the nearby old trees. Swimming is said to be dangerous as the water currents are strong and the rocks beneath are sharp. However, at low tide, only Small pools of salty waters remain and one can take a dip or two. This is definitely one of the best spots on the island for snorkeling, as it is easy to float around and enjoy the remains of colorful corals and a lively underwater world.
