Here are some of the things people had to say on Trip Advisor –

Been here 10 months ago (May 2015) along with my family, the place is definitely awesome, you have the white sand to walk around during the low tide and the clear crisp water to swim around when the tides starts to enter. There were couples of hanging Nipa Huts where you can stay for a day or for overnight. It has facility if you want to cook, but you have to bring utensils and fuel (charcoal/wood) for cooking; they also supplied fresh water but is only limited. You have to ride in a local pump boats where the certainty of its operation is a bit in doubt. There’s supposed to be a Government Operated boats allocated for the transportation, but during our trip it was under maintenance so we have no choice but to try our luck riding in one local motor boat which is has also another one boat being tugged on it. Reservation to the place is not easy, there was no proper contact numbers where you can just call them; in our case we personally went to their Municipal Office just for the booking. But you can also make it by contacting some Beach Resorts nearby that offers tour in the place where they will arrange the trip for you and where you can spend your night as well. Best to be there in the place is in the earliest hour of the morning wherein the tide is still low so that you can experience walking in the white sand and slowly seeing the water coming in when tides start to enter. In general, the place is one of a kind of experience but reaching it and going back is a bit of a risky thing especially if you have small kids along.
