You step off the longtail and the cliffs grab your eye — sheer, pocketed limestone rising straight from the sand, faces mottled with chalk and sunlight. The beach hums with boats and climbing shoes, while a breeze from the Andaman keeps the sweat in check and the ropes singing softly as guides prepare gear.

Hydrate and carry water

Sun protection
High sun and reflection off the limestone make sunscreen, a brimmed hat, and sunglasses important for a full-day outing.
Footwear for approaches
Wear sturdy closed-toe approach shoes or trainers with good grip; soft rock and short scrambles connect parking and climbing sectors.
