Common sighting in Lipah Bay
Lipah Bay is a marine mosaic. Expect to see green turtles grazing on algae, blue-spotted stingrays gliding across the sand, and lionfish hovering in coral shadows.
Anemonefish colonies and nudibranchs pepper the reef, while the deeper zones also knows as shark point occasionally shelter juvenile white-tip reef sharks beneath table corals at 30 meters depth.
Large coral pinnacles attract fusiliers and butterflyfish, and the site’s colors are especially stunning in natural light. Lipah is a dream for those who love coral diversity and fish-rich scenes without strong currents.
