Punta Ballo Beach

Description

Sipalay’s most developed and most popular beach, a roughly one-kilometre stretch of white sand south of town backed by limestone cliffs, with the more upscale end of Sipalay’s dive resort scene (Easy Diving, Artistic Dive Center among them). This is the area’s dive hub — most of Sipalay’s 40-plus dive sites are booked through resorts here — and also the spot most recommended for sunset, given the west-facing coastline. A nesting ground for hawksbill turtles between October and March.
