This is because the beach which is located on the Na Pali Coast and known for its strong spiritual history, does not allow boats or airplanes on it. A boat can take you as close to the beach as possible, but then you have to jump into the water and swim the rest of the way there to enjoy the unparalleled natural beauty.

Baia do Sancho, Brazil
