Facing the mainland, which you can see on a clear day, Sairee Beach is a long beautifully curved beach, stretching roughly 2 miles. Palm trees and vegetation grow wildly, creating a green border between the beach and the island itself. It is only ok for advanced kitesurfers since the launching area is very small and cluttered with rocks.
