Baras Island is a small island made up of white coral sand (baras). It is also called a "miracle island," because it appears only at low tide as if rising out of the ocean. It is also a popular location for PV shooting, and is known as a fashionable spot.
The sea around Baras Island is amazingly clear and blue. While you're here, enjoy swimming in the crystal-clear waters, and watching colorful fish swimming among beautiful coral. If you are lucky, you may even spot sea turtles!
