1. Get a rush from cliff diving

At Magic Island, a popular cliff-diving site just a few minutes away from the beach, there are diving boards that stand 4.5m-9m high, which you can access with a minimal entrance fee of US$3 (about $4.20).

The fee includes unlimited use of the diving boards, but excludes protective gear such as life vests. Guests are advised to bring their own or rent from shops at White Beach before taking the dive.

Magic Island can be reached via boat from Station 1. It’s open from 6am-6pm.
