Book ahead: Private beaches have limited space, and most require a reservation. Some, like Jara, charge extra for walk-ins.
Budget for the boat: For island beaches like Ilashe, Yolo and Koko, the boat ride can cost as much as entry, so include it when comparing prices.
Check what’s included: Some prices cover food and drinks, while others are access only. Ask about corkage before bringing your own food.
Plan around your group size: Beach houses and chalets are priced per house or room, so they often work out cheaper per person for larger groups.
Time your return: Boats run in daylight, so plan to leave the island before evening unless you’re staying overnight.
