Please be advised that we will drop guests off at a parking area adjacent to the jail, and there will be a brief 200-meter walk involved, to be retraced after the show concludes. Guests will exit the premises after the jail visit and then re-enter for the Light & Sound Show. During the interval between the jail visit and the show, guests are invited to take a leisurely stroll along the bay side. The Light & Sound Show is scheduled between 6:00 PM and 7:00 PM, subject to availability.

This extensive stretch of silky white sand accompanied by prominent black rocks juxtaposed against the azure sea is located at one corner of Havelock, serving as a continuation of Beach No. 5.
