Sandy Beach

Jason managed to sweet talk one of our trainers into driving a group of us down to Sandy Beach for the day. What an INCREDIBLE place!! A place where we could be palangis (paw-long-ease = white people) for a couple hours and the water was simply the best that I'd ever gotten to snorkle in.





Tonga is not highly concerned with conservation...that being the case, we actually drove from one island to another via a road that had been placed right on top of a coral reef.










I was completely overwhelmed by this incredible place!














Only Sami was the one in "Tongan Acceptable" attire!

It isn't acceptable for men to go shirtless in Tonga, so this was a treat for the boys too.













If you wanted to stay at Sandy Beach, this fale would cost $150 - $200 a night...this virtually untouched beach is right outside your door...
