Milky Way beach

Milky Way is a popular tourist spot in Ngeruktabel Island, Palau. This is not a real beach, since there is no coastline being available for sunbathing. In fact, this is rather a bay with picturesque rocks, while sea bottom is made of healing mud. So this is a pure day trip destination. Few boats come with tourists, and plastic raft is placed on the water. Mud is filled into a large bucket. So everybody coats themselves with mud and dives into the water. This is rather mediocre attraction, but still very popular among tourists. Shore and seabed: rocks. [edit]
