Long stretch of sand north of Sipalay town, split in half by a stream estuary — the name ‘Sugar Beach’ usually refers to the section north of the river, cut off from the rest of town and reachable only by boat or a walk-and-boat combination. Slower-paced and less developed than Punta Ballo to the south: open-air restaurants, hammocks strung between trees, and a laid-back vibe rather than a dive-shop scene. Good for a quiet stay rather than a day-trip stop, since getting in and out takes some effort.
