You arrive by speedboat and the sea changes its voice—first a steady hum, then glass-clear lapping against a coral-fringed shore. Ora Beach opens with cliffs that darken and cool the sunlight and a shallow reef that lets schoolfish braid around your ankles. The village is small; bamboo houses and a single main path lead away from the sand.
