Around 3km northwest of Bira village, this is a fabulous crescent of white sand, fringed by low cliffs and palms. You can stroll here in 20 to 30 minutes from Bira along the coast with the sand between your toes (low tide only) and marvel at the turquoise water and tropical vegetation. At high tide use the shady dirt track behind the beach, which cuts through woodland that's home to monkeys and large monitor lizards.
Several excellent hotels have opened recently in Pantai Bara.
