About Pereybere Beach
The beach is just 150 metres long, yet is the best family beach in the whole of this country, the reason being that this is probably one of the very few beaches where you can swim in the waters. This is also probably why that this beach is also the most crowded in the area. The waters here are said to be so calm and safe that children love to come here to take a dip. It is the favourite of all families living there and is the most sought after if you have young children.
The beach itself is breath-taking with its clean white sands and clear turquoise beach water. Rows of palm trees adorn the entire stretch of this beach and beach shacks at a distance serve up a variety of food options. Of course, since it is a beach, water sports are the primary mode of entertainment over here. Plenty of deck chairs have been laid out, which you can rent out, if you are in a mood to sunbathe, while your kids swim in the shallow ends of the beach.
The beach is strewn with seashells and it would be fun to relive your childhood days, along with your child, while you go about collecting different shapes and sizes of the seashells. You could also build sandcastles while you are at it.
