Exploring Awera Beach
In a nutshell, Awera Beach is a suitable place to enjoy marine tourism as it is quite popular. As mentioned before, snorkeling and swimming are two main popular activities in Mentawai. Despite the fact, tourists can do other things like family gathering and relaxation. For example, the locals often come to the beach and eat together near to the shoreline.

The next common activity to do in Awera Beach is to relax at its resort. Some facilities are available to rent, in fact. Featuring comfortable rooms and good services, the guests can feel like home when spending a vacation in Awera. The thing is not many visitors would come during working days. That means the resort would feel empty and a little bit creepy at night. Have no worries. The staff is always ready to help the guests regarding their necessities.

Even though Awera Beach is not located near to a local village, some locals are often seen in the location. For foreigners, they have the chance to approach those local people and make some new friends there. If they are lucky, those people would provide free fresh coconut drink and some snacks! This is definitely a worthy experience so everyone should visit Awera Beach at least once. The best time to visit it is during holiday and weekends, though.
